On a calm moonlit night, as the scent of jasmine and pine
embraced the island of Ascension, the pirate prince Lazar di
Fiori returns with lethal grace to avenge what was stolen
from him: his kingdom, his birthright, his soul...
Allegra Monteverdi, the daughter of Lazar's sworn enemy,
proves an uncommonly powerful adversary. She throws herself
on his mercy, her courage and beauty touching his cold,
unforgiving heart. He agrees to spare the lives of her
family--but only if Allegra sails away with him as his
captive. For his quest for vengeance still burns fiercely,
and he will settle for nothing less than Allegra's body and
soul.
Alone at sea with this dark, intriguing man, moving between
seduction and fear, Allegra gazes into eyes as deep and
mysterious as the night and sees who this pirate really is.
Lazar--the prince of her childhood dreams. Though he was
rumored to be murdered years ago, she always believed
someday he would return. But it will take more than her love
for this pirate prince to bring peace to her beloved home.
For Lazar must face the demons of his shattered past--if he
is to forge the destiny that is theirs to claim. . . .
