La brûlure des Tropiques

Résumé

Ensemble, ils se sont enfuis de l'orphelinat où ils vivaient; ensemble ils se sont construit une vie nouvelle. Au cours des années, l'immense affection que Séléna, la petite sauvageonne de huit ans, portait à John, s'est transformée en amour. Par crainte de se déshonorer en prenant son innocence, John l'éloigne pour quatre ans. Pourtant, lorsque Séléna revient à Key West, rien n’a changé : un même désir les enflamme. Pourquoi John résiste-t-il à cette passion, plus forte que les vagues de l’océan ?

* * *

They'd escaped from the orphanage together when she was just a child, and Salem Shepherd had adored John Canada forever. But when the bewitching gypsy girl was transformed by time into a beautiful woman, he'd sent her away, unwilling to dishonor himself by taking her innocence. Salem had spent four years away from her Key West home, but now she was coming back, whether John liked it or not, to help fight the saboteurs trying to destroy their salvage business.

When Salem appeared on the island, John felt desire twist him -- and knew that nothing had changed, that she was still an obsession...one he could no longer fight. Swept away by a current stronger than an ocean surge, engulfed in flames of need that lit up the sultry night, they succumbed to a wildfire of longing that time apart had only made more potent, more irresistible. John wanted her to stay, but it had to be her choice. Could Salem make him see that wherever he went, she would follow?
