THE LURE OF ADVENTURE
From the lusty court of Queen Bess to the treasure-laden jungles of the
New World, Shawn MacManus pursued adventure, fortune, and a treacherous
Spanish beauty, Doña Elvira...
"Inside my own chamber, I bolted the door, kicked off my boots,
and fumbled in my rucksack for a nightshirt. It was then that the curtains
on the four-poster stirred faintly. Even in the dance of the candle end,
there was no mistaking the head and shoulders that were thrust out to
greet me, or the white arm that beckoned me closer."
"Where have you been, novio mío?" asked Elvira. "I
thought you were never coming!"
