Captain's Pleasure

by Mary Ruth Myers

THE SPOILS OF WAR...THE SPOILS OF LOVE The sixteenth century. Pizarro's Peru, the crossroads of the old world and the new. Civil rebellion and political upheaval rocked the country. and amidst the chaos... CATHERINE Clever, aristocratic, and headstrong, she survived more by wits than by beauty - and her beauty alone had caused men to become lifelong enemies. VALDIVIA Lusty and courageous, he was a heroic captain in Pizarro's legendary army. He bought Catherine in a gambling hall and then humiliated her further - by making her his wife. DON LUIS The ruthless and powerful government official. He hated Catherine almost as much as he desired her. And he vowed to have her at all costs - or to destroy her. Caught between politics and passion, between being a possession and loving the very man who possessed her, Catherine yearned for love. She wanted to be more than a possession, more than a precious toy. More than the CAPTAIN'S PLEASURE..
