Wild Silver: The Delaneys: The Untamed Years I (Delaneys: The Untamed Years series Book 1)

In this sensuous historical tale from New York Times bestselling author Iris Johansen, a wicked prince takes a willful young woman captive--only to be captivated by her, heart and soul. Prince Nicholas Savron has traveled from Russia to New Orleans to track down Dominic Delaney, the man he holds responsible for his cousin's death. Nicholas thinks it will be easy enough to wrest his whereabouts from Dominic's niece, Silver, but he greatly underestimates her loyalty. Determined to satisfy his lust for vengeance, he abducts her instead, hoping to draw her uncle out from hiding. Silver Delaney may be enrolled in a school for young ladies, but she's no wilting flower. Despite her fierce attraction to the arrogant prince holding her hostage, she vows never betray her uncle. But when powerful enemies threaten them both, Nicholas and Silver must work together to survive--igniting a passion from which neither wants to escape. ... Mysterious, enigmatic Prince Nicholas Savron had the face of a fallen angel, but Silver Delaney knew his devil's beauty was a snare, and she dared not be trapped by it. He understood she'd never yield to him without a struggle, but her hair like dark flame stirred him, her satin skin tempted him irresistibly, and he felt the passion in her reach out and stroke him. Held captive on the riverboat he'd won in a poker game, she was mesmerized by the bold, sensuous sun god who made her tremble, but she refused his demand that she reveal a family secret. She was half Apache, half Delaney, an outcast who treasured loyalty and vowed escape -- even if Nicholas could drive her to the brink of madness with his bold embraces. He dazzled her, wooed his proud warrior woman until she became his quest, his outspoken dream. But once her courage survived a terrifying test, could he make his lovely, wild pagan understand that she was his destiny, the legendary Firebird who would carry him to a heaven that was home in her arms?
