Shanna by Kathleen E Woodiwiss Avon Books 1977 Vintage Hardcover

Shanna by Kathleen E Woodiwiss Avon Books 1977 Vintage Hardcover. Behind the foreboding walls of Newgate Prison, a pact is sealed in secret -- as a dashing and doomed criminal consents to wed a beautiful heiress . . . in return for one night of unparalleled pleasure. In the fading echoes of hollow wedding vows, a promise is broken -- as a sensuous free-spirit flees to a lush Caribbean paradise, abandoning the handsome stranger she married to the gallows. But Ruark Beauchamp's destiny is now eternally intertwined with his exquisite, tempestuous Shanna's. And no iron ever forged can imprison his magnificent passion . . . and no hangman's noose will deny him the ecstasy that is rightfully his. Avon Books first edition. No dust jacket. Has some yellow age spots/stains on front and back pages. Please see pictures.
