"Sheridan Drake was a fallen angel... a scoundrel... a blackguard...every maiden's nightmare. Olympia St. Leger was an exiled princess in needof a hero. Amused by her innocence, lured by her wealth, Sheridan allowed her to think him a knight in shining armor. Across storm-tossed seas beset with villains to a lost island paradise, through battles of both the body and the soul, they found deception had its price, even when a passion so exquisite, so hot and alive and eternal, awakened between them. Theirs was a love born against all odds, but even love's power may not be enough to save Sheridan from his shame and free Olympia from her lonely heart." -- Back cover.
