An exotic moon shines down upon the Governor's Palace on the night Alexa Howard first sets eyes on Nicholas Dameron. He is there again at her debutante ball, mocking Alexa's pride and her innocence with his commanding arrogance and seething sensuality, awakening a woman's desire within her while enslaving her heart forever.
There are those who would have Alexa - cruel men of influence and power who covet her beauty and would defile her love. But their elusive, spirited prize is a lady enflamed with an irresistible need for satisfaction . . . and revenge. And there is only one who possesses her soul: the shameless rogue who brazenly stole her virtue; the dark and alluring stranger who first came to her in moonlight. Nicholas - her life, her lover - whose touch is unbearably ecstasy . . . and whose tenderness is the loving fulfilment of every passion Alexa has ever dreamed.
