Wicked Ways — Linda Jenkins

LOVE ON THE RUN

After her father's death, orphaned Alexandra Clayton finds herself the heir to debt. Forced to fend for herself, the plucky Georgia belle puts the past firmly behind her and heads north to start life anew...and alone. The last thing she expects is to meet a captivating stranger.

The wealthy scion of a distinguished Yankee family, Duncan has had enough of his family trying to control his future. Determined to chart his own course in life, he sets sail only to find himself in the unexpected company of a lonely, tempestuous beauty who's searching for her own answers. It's shaping up to be another battle between North and South...until a tempest of quite another kind leaves Alexandra and Duncan stranded on the sun-kissed sands of Tortola, where, in this tropical paradise, their hearts are destined to unite in heavenly surrender....
