by Jackie Black

Her brother described Michael Venner as saintly, but the hard-muscled man who appeared before her looked more like a black-bearded pirate.

Michael had been on a personal mission of mercy in Central America He'd been in danger; now Ruth was his ticket to safety. From Cancun, Mexico, to the cozy hideaway cottage in Florida, Ruth fought her own feelings. In spite of herself, in spite of her troubled past, here was a man she longed for, desired. Dare she respond to his kisses, surrender to the passion he awakened? How long could their "cover-up" marriage be expected to last?
