A sheltered but impetuous young beauty, Lindsay Somerset would risk anything for a succulent taste of wild adventure—and Jared Giles, the dashing Earl of Dovercourt, is the answer to her prayers. A gallant and fearless gentleman, he is rumored to be a spy—and the ideal man to fulfill Lindsay's most cherished, unspoken desires.

But once aboard ship on a high raging sea, Lindsay realizes the folly of her rash actions—and the truth about the bold hero to whom she has entrusted her love. For Jared is no servant of the Crown, but a lusty scoundrel with a dark secret and passions that know no bounds. And Lindsay is a hostage to his dangerous will—trapped on a sensuous adventure that will imperil her life...and her innocent heart as well.
