the collection.
The Hostage (Great Chicago Fire Trilogy Series #1)
by Susan Wiggs
Mass Market Paperback
ISBN-13: 9781551665924
Pub. Date: April 2000
Synopsis
October 8, 1871--One small spark ignites the entire city of Chicago,
sending its residents into panic. But amid the chaos, a chance
encounter leads to an unexpected new love.
Unaware of the fire sweeping toward them, Deborah Sinclair confronts
her wealthy, powerful father, determined to refuse the society
marriage he has arranged for her. Suddenly, out of the smoke and
flames, a stranger appears--gun in hand, intent on avenging an
unforgivable crime. As fire consumes the elegant mansion, the ruthless
man takes the fragile, sheltered heiress hostage.
Swept off to mist-shrouded Isle Royale, Deborah finds herself the pawn
in Tom Silver's dangerous game of revenge. Despite her horror at being
kidnapped, she is drawn to the people of the close-knit community and
to the startling beauty of the island. As she engages in a battle of
wits with her brooding captor, Deborah begins to understand the
injustice that fuels his anger, an injustice wrought by her own
family. And as winter imprisons the isolated land, she finds herself a
hostage of her own heart....
The Mistress (Great Chicago Fire Trilogy Series #2)
by Susan Wiggs
Mass Market Paperback
ISBN-13: 9781551666105
Pub. Date: 10/28/2000
Synopsis
October 8, 1871 — One small spark ignites the entire city of Chicago,
sending its residents into panic. But amid the chaos, a case of
mistaken identity leads to an unexpected new love.
As the historic fire ignites across town, Kathleen O’Leary finds
herself dressed in borrowed diamonds and silk, enjoying a lavish
masquerade. The penniless maid has caught the eye of Dylan Francis
Kennedy, the rich, handsome gentleman all of high society has been
speculating about. The night feels alive with magic...and ripe with
promise.
Then fire sweeps through the city, cornering the young lovers with no
hope of rescue. Desperate to share their last moments together,
Kathleen and Dylan impulsively marry. Incredibly, they survive. Now,
as the fire burns down to cold ash, Kathleen must tell Chicago’s most
eligible bachelor that he has married a fraud. But the joke’s on her.
For this gentleman is no gentleman. While Kathleen had hoped to win
Dylan’s love, he had planned only to capture her heart and steal her
fortune. Dylan Kennedy — con artist, gambler, and ne’er-do-well — has
been unwittingly caught in his own game. Now the real sparks are about
to fly.
