When the roguish Gerrick Scott landed on the Hawaiian Island she called home, outspoken Caitlin Price let the lusty captain know how unwelcome he was. But even as the indignant blonde warned him not to despoil her native schoolgirls nor to plunder her paradise's riches, she felt the allure of forbidden desire. Just one glance at his muscular physique made her feel as unsettled as the rolling surf, as lush as the riotous blossoms, and as hot as the tropical sun...until eternal shame seemed a small price to pay for one night in his arms.
Ever since his fiancee had scorned him, Gerrick Scott considered all women a heartless lot, that innocent-looking Caitlin Price included. But the crafty captain wasn't beyond wanting to bed her, for both the challenge of conquering such a sanctimonious siren--and for his plan to sweeet-talk her into revealing the whereabouts of a valuable hidden sandalwood forest. Yet the more the cynical male lied to her, the more she evoked disturbingly warm feelings in him.
