But the night before their wedding, Valencia heard him utter the words that would shatter her heart and send her running. Now, all these years later, they come face to face at a masked ball at Mystic Isle. Her memory is long and she'll never forget his betrayal…no matter how much her body might crave his touch now. He has his work cut out for him where she's concerned and only four days left to change her mind. His thirst for her is undeniable. Luckily, he has in his possession the one thing she's always wanted but never been able to possess. EXCERPT He was after something, wanted something. From her most likely. Did he take her for a fool? For an idiot? He’d had plenty of time to find her, to make contact but he’d chosen today. Why? She didn’t get a chance to press for details before he lifted her and started spinning in a tight circle. Clinging to his shoulders, she did a split to keep her legs from clanging into his. The world spun by as the music reached a crescendo. He stopped abruptly, releasing his hold but controlling her decent. With her right leg hooked around his left, she slithered to the floor and grasped his thigh as she caught her breath. She’d seen the move many times on the dance floor. But with him, with the way he bent over and stared down at her as he cupped her cheek… He was so arrogant, the position so intimate. Breathless and aroused, her heart demanded she give him anything he desired. And then he said two words. Two words that took her brain a few seconds to compute. Two words that set off an explosion inside of her. “Marry me.” Views: 15
This is the astounding story of HMS Wager, driven ashore in foul weather onto the inhospitable coast of Patagonian Chile in 1741. Shipwreck was followed by murder, starvation, mutiny, and the fearful ordeal of 36 survivors out of about 140 men. Some were enslaved, some defected; many drowned. The captain shot one of his officers. There was an epic openboat voyage of 3000 miles through the world’s most hostile seas, probably the greatest castaway voyage in the annals of the sea, and the least known. Midshipman Byron, the grandfather of the poet, was prominent among the survivors. The story is placed in its historical context, using eye-witness accounts where possible, with much previously unpublished material. It finishes with the finding of the wreck by a British expedition in 2006. Foreword written by HRH The Duke of Edinburgh. Views: 15
