Book SynopsisHOW FAR WILL TEMPTATION TAKE HIM . . .
Lady Olivia Sherbourne isn''t shy about speaking her mind, except when it comes to James Averill. For ten long years he has been her brother''s best friend and her heart''s only desire. But when Olivia hears James will soon set sail for an expedition to Egypt, she knows the time has come to make her move. It''s now or never . . .
James has always found Olivia bewitchingly attractive, but what kind of gentleman takes up with his best friend''s sister? Not that he''s thinking particularly gentlemanly thoughts when she appears on his exploratory trip-three hundred miles from home!-and incites a tavern fight. No matter what the devil she''s doing there, it''s his duty to see her safely back to her family. But how safe will she be when every starlit night brings wicked temptation . . . ?
