One Touch of Topaz Iris Johansen

Samantha Barton survived imprisonment on the war-torn island of St. Pierre. Her family wasn t so lucky. Now, in her new identity as the tough-as-nails revolutionary code-named Topaz, she enlists the aid of an enigmatic industrialist, Fletcher Bronson, on a risky mission to rescue some stranded refugees. Trapped behind enemy lines with a man she both fears and desires, Samantha finds herself irresistibly drawn by his promise of a new life away from the hail of gunfire. For Fletcher, Samantha is more than just an intriguing new lover. She s an object he must possess and protect at all costs. Opening his heart to her was never part of the bargain. But when new developments from Samantha s past life threaten to disturb his careful plans for their future, Fletcher must come to terms with the changes she s wrought in him and reconcile himself to the truth of the warning she once delivered: I m Samantha, but I m also Topaz.
