Rapture's Deception — Michalann Perry

SHE'D TAKE HIS WORD
Since her father got hurt, the only way determined Temerity Kincade knew she could save him from ruin was to pilot his riverboat up the Missouri herself, Still, she needed a crew and no one would work for a woman ... until she met handsome, authoritative Steele. Calling on all her feminine wiles, the bold, alluring beauty convinced him to be her first mate. Temerity assured herself theirs would be a business relationship only. But the further they steamed upriver, the more she yearned for a deeper, more intimate union with her tall and dashing partner!
HE'D BREAK HER HEART.
With his unruly chestnut hair and audacious hazel eyes, Steele looked every part the adventurer. And if the pretty miss hadn't been so desperate, she would have realized such a man could never work for a anyone but himself. Still, the virile male couldn't tell the truth when his blood boiled for the satisfaction only her embrace could bring. Steele knew that by the end of their voyage Temerity would never want to see him again. Until then, through, he'd pleasure her a thousand ways each night, traitorously giving her a love that flourished on passion's betrayal and RAPTURE'S DECEPTION.
