Sydney, the Temptress — Fayrene Preston

Sydney Delaney knew somehow that she was being watched, felt Nicholas Charron's eyes like warm breath on her ski. In a desperate gamble she'd come to the Great Barrier Reef casino to make a fortune, but had never dreamed she'd meet its mysterious owner. His words held the heat and passion of a midnight wind, drawing her like a black velvet lariat, inexorably to him, and Sydney felt her precious control melting beneath his searing touch. Her beauty and innocence heated Nick's blood and made him yearn to free her desire, but she senses the danger of tempting this man of dark secrets into the light. When he was in her arms, night was turned to day and all pain forgotten, but could she trust and love this man who could command the wild black swans to fly to him?
