Master of Paradise
As the privateer bore down on her ship, Gabrielle Ashton-Cross recognized all too well the magnificent, leonine figure at its prow. Once, she had resisted his arrogant passion, had survived his betrayal to become the toast of London. And even now she might escape him, for her sword was like lightning. Yet the moment their gazes locked across the rolling deck, she knew that Rodrigo Soro had every intention of taming her to his will at last. Gabrielle hadn't journeyed so far from home to fulfill a lifelong dream only to surrender to a pirate king. But this time when he took her in his arms, would she have the strength to fight the only man who could ever promise her paradise?
