How I Got It: I own it!
Deborah Sinclair is a beautiful, accomplished young heiress with a staggering dowry. But her fortune does her no good when, one horrible night, Chicago is engulfed in flames.
Tom Silver will walk through fire to avenge a terrible injustice—and he may have to. But when he makes Deborah a pawn in his revenge, the heat of the inferno fades next to the attraction he feels for his captive. And the further he takes her from everything she's known, the stronger their passion grows, until it threatens to consume them both.
Another one of my fluffy romances to entertain me. I liked this one, but definitely not as much as some of the others I've read. I liked the storyline. Although predictable, it kept my attention throughout. I especially loved the section on Isle Royale. It was definitely the most realistic section of the book. Tom Silver was a great character. Deborah got annoying, but she became more realistic later in the book. I'm planning on finishing this series sometime in the near future.
