However, in his quest to captivate and capture, he finds Sarona is more woman than he's bargained for, and he'll need more than cunning, charm, and nature's gift to achieve his goal.Sarona is undeniably attracted to the charisma and roguish good looks of David Broussard, and like any red-blooded female alive she's fallen victim to his intoxicating scent.
