Golden Splendor — Colleen Quinn

EMERALD TREASURE

Lovely Ashley Tarrant had always been able to wrap a man around her little finger, but when she saw towering Jared Westcott, something told her she wouldn't be able to play the handsome captain for a fool. All she wanted was passage to the Colonies... so the green-eyed beauty was scandalized to learn the scoundrel would take her only if she paid with her body. She lashed out to wipe the knowing smirk off his face -- but before Ashley realized what she'd done, her lithe form was pressed against his virile frame and she was whispering her consent!

SAPPHIRE GLORY

Dashing Jared Westcott had been with enough women to recognize Ashley as a scheming, greedy tease... but that didn't stop him from desiring her embrace. He told himself all he wanted was to caress her sweet silken flesh -- yet the more her fought his feelings for the provocative girl, the more he dreamed of keeping her forever. The blue-eyed adventurer thrived on a life fraught with danger, and now that he'd met Ashley, he wasn't about to change. He threw all caution to the winds to recklessly love her, and indulged himself without end in ecstatic Golden Splendor.
