About Heart of Thunder

No man had ever dared to force his attentions on stunning, fiery 19 year old Samantha Blackstone Kingsley -- until 28 year old Enrique Antonio de Vega y Chavez, "Hank", the rough-hewn, insolent outlaw, aroused the spirited hellion's wrath...and her passion. Samantha vowed to slaughter the impulsive rogue...if her father didn't do it first. For there's only one thing Chavez wants more than the Kingley's sprawling Mexican homestead: to ignite in Samantha's breast...and to take the tempestuous beauty in bold, rapturous conquest.
