Renegade Ways — Terry Lawrence

NICK--A Rebel with a Taste for Trouble, and for a Lady in Distress...

He did his best to appear no more than a charming scoundrel, but Nick Atwell's smooth talk and seductive looks couldn't dissuade Connie Hennessy from believing the handsome diplomat might be just the hero she needed! She'd come to the tiny island country determined to win her father's release from captivity, but could she enlist the help of a man who acted as if no cause was worth fighting for?

A Hostage to Love, or a Slave to Passion?

Drawn to this woman who had more courage than caution, Nick succumbed to the fever Connie's touch ignited beneath his skin. He burned to possess her, to wrap himself in her scent and never let her go, but he believed she deserved a better man who could promise her always. He'd offer his life to make her dearest wish come true, but could she show her brave gladiator he didn't have to earn her love?
