Description for IRISH LINEN by Candace McCarthy: SHE DESIRED ONLY HIM... Meghan McBride owes her life to the elegant stranger who saved her from a brutal attacker. Death had cruell y taken away her father on this long voyage to America, leaving her alone and prey to the dangers that lay beyond her Irish homeland. Now, in need of a man's protection until they reach Delaware's shores, she agrees to pose as Lucas Ridgely's bride-to-be. ...BUT SHE WAS PROMISED TO ANOTHER. Meghan is nothing like the pampered beauties Lucas is used to courting, but this waif-like woman with the haunting air of melancholy stirs something deep inside him. In America, a man waits for her. But the thought of Meghan in another's arms drives Lucas almost to madness. Somehow, he must find a way to claim her for his own, to show her the true meaning of passion -- and to convince her that promises are made to be broken... and true love is meant to be fulfilled.
