Will the seductive pirate from her past put a stop to her society wedding? "Filled with biting repartee and passionate drama . . . [a] lively high-seas romp." — Romantic Times (Reviewers Choice Nominee for Best Historical Romantic Adventure) The daughter of a wealthy bandit, Sophia Dawson once lost herself in the arms of Black Hawk, the most infamous pirate ever to command the high seas. But now, determined to put her sinful past behind her, she prepares to enter society as the bride of a well-born nobleman who knows nothing of her scandalous youth. All goes according to plan until her ex-lover—now a respectable sea captain but just as handsome and dangerous as ever—appears and once again tempts her with desire. From the moment he sees Sophia again, James Hawkins wants only one thing: revenge. He'll see to it that the reckless beauty pays for abandoning their heated affair. And so begins a battle of wills that can end only in utter ruin . . . or wicked surrender . . . Praise for Alexandra Benedict's Too Great a Temptation "Benedict has not only picked a fresh setting for her historical, she's brought considerable chemistry to the romance . . . Supporting turns by the Hawkins brothers are keen and comical, and dialogue is both snappy and strong. Fans of historical romance will thoroughly enjoy this fresh take on the genre." — Publishers Weekly (starred review)
