Romance and glamour were the last things on her mind, until she found herself swaying to the sensual rhythms of Carnavale at the Sugar Loaf Ball...and falling under the masculine spell of Alex Robeson.

UNEXPECTED LOVE
Costumed as a bold pirate, Alex was a veritable knave of hearts. Irresistible to women, he had given a beautiful gold and amethyst bracelet to each one he had loved and left behind. Like all the others, Melisande lost her heart to him. But unlike them, she refused to be just another conquest. Now, as Alex watched her angrily hurl his opulent present into the harbor, his own heart sank with it. He knew he was about to lose more than the bracelet, and that he would have to find a way to win back the love of the woman who had become more precious to him than all the world's...
