Dream Lover (edition 1997)

He came upon her as she swam in her secret crystal cave, the rugged stranger who stole her heart, then haunted her dreams when he disappeared. Emerald FitzGerald Montague thought her life was over when she was forced to marry another man, a man she despised....until Sean O'Toole, dark, dangerous, and handsome as sin, returned from the dead and swept her away in a whirlwind of scandal and desire.

Bent on revenge after five years on a prison ship, Sean O'Toole, Earl of Kildare, kidnapped his enemy's daughter. Her name was Emerald, the innocent beauty he had known long ago, who had stirred his senses like no other woman. But now he planned to seduce her, abandon her...and bring disgrace to the hated Montagues. First he would restore the fire to her eyes, make her hunger for his steely embrace - then use her in an act of vengeance. But Sean didn't expect to find himself caught in the sudden heat of his own desires, bewitched by the magnificent beauty he'd planned to betray...
