“Let’s make the most of the time we have together now.”
Sandra looked into Adam’s eyes, feeling the familiar surge of arousal he so often called forth. He fascinated her, frustrated and confused her. He couldn’t be good for her, but she couldn’t stay away from him.
As he pulled her into the welcoming shadows, she draped herself around him, her lips locked to his in a kiss that made her forget everything short of her own name. Adam’s hands slid down her back to cradle her bottom, and he pulled her closer still.
“Let’s go to your yacht, where we can be alone,” she said in a voice made low, husky by his kisses.
Without a word he took her hand and led her down the beach to explore a different world—one of shadows and secrets and sex….

Dear Reader,
I had so much fun on Passionata’s Island with the characters in At Her Pleasure that I couldn’t wait to revisit the island in this book. There’s just something about sun, sand, sex—and pirates!
As part of my research for this book, I visited the Titanic exhibit that has been touring throughout the United States. One section of this exhibit was devoted to the process of locating and salvaging the ship’s wreckage. I was amazed at the hard work that went into recovering and preserving artifacts. And several years ago I was lucky enough to tour an exhibition devoted to the pirate ship Whydah, a wooden sailing vessel much like the one I imagined for Passionata. Both of these exhibits, I hope, helped me bring my own shipwreck to life.
Many thanks also to my friend and fellow author Emily McKay, who helped me with my many questions about diving. Any mistakes in this book are mine, not hers.
Of course, once all the research was done, it was time to put my imagination to work. That’s where the real fun began. I hope you’ll enjoy Adam and Sandra’s story as much as I did. Let me know what you think by e-mailing me at [email protected], or write to me in care of Harlequin Enterprises, 225 Duncan Mill Rd, Toronto, Ontario, M3B 3K9, Canada.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Cindi Myers’s dreams of sailing away to an island paradise with her own swashbuckling pirate have been quashed by rampant seasickness and a tendency to sunburn easily. So she settles for drinking umbrella cocktails and letting her imagination run wild on the sun-washed beaches of her books.
