Christian Radcliff has always loved adventure and being a
sea captain has always made him feel alive and vital. Seven
years ago, an incident caused him to flee England and take
to the sea. How can he forget killing his best friend? A
ridiculous dual over a woman, when they were both in their
cups, altered his life forever and he's never forgiven
himself for it. Now, it's time to try something new and
Chris is leaving the sea to become a gentleman planter in
the West Indies. Jamaica is his destination, his new home.
Winning a card game made him the proud owner of Sunset
Hill, a rather large plantation and distillery, a challenge
he eagerly anticipates.
Since the scandal seven years ago, Sophia Carlile has been
living in her family's rundown manor in the country. But
her hateful stepbrother, overrun with gambling debts, has
concocted a scheme to pay off a creditor demanding money.
Bringing Sophia back to London to find a wealthy husband
has failed. Now he bargains her virginity. One night in bed
with Sophia, or he gets thrown into debtor's prison. All he
has to do is convince her.
Sophia prays for a miracle to get her out of this dangerous
situation. Driven by desperation, she runs for her life.
Trying to get as far away from London as possible, Sophia
ends up on the wharf, running towards the only ship with
its gangplank out. She stows away under a bunk, falls
asleep and finds herself sailing for...where? And straight
into the arms of the ship's captain, the man she's been
avoiding for the last seven years.
Can the past be forgotten? Do they give in to temptation?
Now the real adventure begins.
Connie Mason has gifted us with yet another
wonderful story filled with intrigue, suspense and enough
passion to set your heart on fire. Take this delightful
journey into paradise. You'll be glad you did.
When lovely Sophia Carlisle stowed away on a ship bound for
Jamaica, she hardly expected to find Christian Radcliff at
the helm. She and the captain had a turbulent history,
which involved the breaking of her heart and the death by
duel of his best friend. Now they would be confined
together during the long journey to tropical shores, forced
to share a cabin, and if Christian had it his way, a bed.
But under the island moon, caressed by the balmy breeze,
Sophia found herself forgetting the past and giving in to
temptation. No man could arouse her senses as the
swashbuckling captain did, and she had no use for prudence
or propriety when in his kiss she could find...
