About the book
When golden-haired 19 year old Alexandria first saw the 32 year old dark-haired stranger, her fury knew no bounds. How dare he intrude on her privacy as she swam in her secret pool! Though his caresses were tantalizing and his kisses intoxicating, Alexandria fought the sweet torment and struggled against her captor... until she could no longer resist the waves of delicious sensuality that left her longing for more. She had sworn to let no man have her, but against her will, she gave herself to this ruthless pirate, a captive to his burning gaze and searing touch!
