About Surrender the Night

BRIDE OF REVOLUTION... SLAVE OF SHATTERING DESIRE Desperate to escape the clutches of her mother, Eliza Hilliard, 17, trades the sumptuous false freedoms of Boston society for marriage to a royal stranger... An innocent in a palace of dark intrigue, Eliza is helplessly captured in a bondage of raw desire--swept on a sea of frightening sensual ecstasy. She swears to flee from the 28 year old notorious Hungarian prince--before she loses her very will to the ruthless hunger which possesses her body and soul. But as the flames of war erupt, the lovers are torn by a scandal of loyalties divided, a private hell of dangerous betrayal. And in a last deadly game of power, they gamble the one thing they cannot live without... the radiant, forever promise of a love too long denied.
