Her Passionate Awakening

Read this classic romance by New York Times bestselling author Penny Jordan, now available for the first time in e-book! Previously published as Lingering Shadows in 1991. Out of the shadows of the past. Linked by ambition and passion and held apart by the sins of the fathers… Money, power, influence — LEO von Hessler has inherited it all from his manipulative, empire-building father. But just how much of his business has been built at the expense of others’ shattered hopes and dreams? Only a visit to English company, Carey Chemicals, can answer Leo’s questions. Ambitious, relentless, driven — SAUL Jardine, corporate raider, knows just when to close in on ailing companies. Respected and feared in the business world, Saul has pursued his career single-mindedly, to the detriment of love and family. His life at a crossroads, he is now set to carry out one last transaction: moving in on Carey’s — a company ripe for takeover. Sensitive, intense, determined — DAVINA James has been forced to suppress her warmth and sensuality, first by her domineering father and then by her womanizing husband. Now, a beautiful widow, she’s stopped yearning for love, turning her energies instead into confronting the business giants who seek to take her inheritance — Carey’s — away from her. A confrontation which will have unexpected and far-reaching consequences…
