DESCRIPTION:
The saying rang true for Jordan and a flame long thought extinguished was awakened inside him whenever Amelia was near. Try as they might they could not douse the flames. Denying his desire for her was no longer becoming and option.. Still she found herself throwing caution to the wind and knew she would pay whatever the cost for the chance at one more kiss. Amelia was lost from the moment she laid eyes on Jordan Bradford. Time and again he sought her out against his better judgment and his hardened hearts wishes. Besides the fact she was just the maid, there were far too many reason besides the obvious that they could not be together. Forbidden fruit was always sweeter. The fire that burned whenever they were together was consuming
"Karen Green-Berry-BRAB Online Club" according to Karen Green-Berry. I just finished reading Rescue and must say I was pleasantly surprised.This is the story of Jordan Bradford ( a rich white man) and his maid extraordinaire Amelia Marriot. Amelia had a hard life being raised by her aunt who wanted to get rid of her and offered her to an older gentleman as his wife.

But i just didn'want to see a black woman portrayed as such a weener. I really s
