What Stormspell is like to read
A category-romance sweep from a storm-lashed Caribbean island to a lonely London aftermath, driven by an obsessive attraction the heroine can't shake even knowing her lover belongs to another. Best for: readers who want a classic 1980s Mills-and-Boon-style forbidden romance with an exotic setting and an aching separation arc.
Sleeping Desire

An All Consuming Passion
Anne Mather · 1985

Almost Heaven
Judith McNaught · 1990
