Love's Fiery Jewel

ALL THAT GLITTERS When Damien Straith, captain of the Sally, first met Amethyst, named for the rare color of her bewitching eyes, she was no more than a thin child with a tongue sharper than the icy winter wind cutting through Charleston Harbor. Upon their chance meeting eight years later, Damien could see she was a child no more, but a raven-curled, intoxicating woman, fiery-tempered and ripe for love. Amethyst tried not to be affected by Damiens piercing gray gaze and muscular body, but her passion burned fiercely. Delirious with longing, yet afraid of the consequences, Amethyst hated the power Damien held over her body and let the mysterious captain turn pirate and plunder her heart.
