Sailing westward toward the Caribbean sun, young Bettina Verlaine obediently sets out to fulfill the promise made by her father - but not by her heart - a prearranged marriage destined not to be...once the notorious Captain Tristan's pirate ship appears on the horizon. Abducted by the bold and handsome brigand, the pale-haired beauty surrenders her innocence in the warm caress of the tropical winds - detesting her virile captor for enslaving her...yet loving him for the passionate spell he casts over fragile, yearning heart.
