Search - Till Dawn Tames the Night

A sfe, respectable orphanage was the only home Aurora Dayne had ever known. Teaching there would mean security. But when the mysterious letter arrived, offering her a position as lady's companion, Aurora seized the chance, embarking for Jamaica with her sole legacy--a little golden lizard bearing a strange rhyme. And so began the daring odyssey that would throw her into clutches of a ruthless privateer.

Feared by men, desired by women, Vashon's eyes gleamed as he vowed to possess the innocent beauty who held the key to his quest. Could anything ever equal his obsession to retrieve the legendary emerald--the Star of Aran? Held captive on a secret Caribbean isle--at Dragonard, his solitary lair--Aurora would struggle against her own passions, determined to tame the very dragon who had awakened her fire.

What a fantastic book! I usually don't use exclamation points, but I really enjoyed this piratical tale.

Lured from her London orphanage to the wilds of Jamaica, ravishing Aurora Dayle must contend with Vashon Blackwell, a ruthless pirate who wants a priceless emerald to which only Aurora can lead him, but who also desires the ultimate prize.
