The devil and the deep blue sea

Thoroughly modern Bree Kealy was obsessed by a legend. Over a century ago, amid rumors of dark betrayal and bitter revenge, devilish seafarer Alexander Devane went down with his doomed clipper. Yet now his restless spirit plundered Bree's dreams . . . claiming shocking intimacies . . . vowing to one day make her his.

Bree's heart cried out for her spectral, ancestral lover. And, as if spawned by the throbbing surf, Alec Devon appeared. With his pirate-black hair, his glistening sinews, Alec was maleness incarnate. And Bree felt a shiver of . . . recognition. Had Alexander Devane defied time and tide to come for her? And would their mortal embrace rewrite his cruel fate? Or erase Bree's future?

    Suddenly thunder rolled. A slash of lightening split the sky.
    And Bree watched in horror as the waves below - the very sea that had swallowed Alexander Devane a century and a half before - seemed to rear up in fury . . .
