About Paradise Wild

Corinne's flashing emerald eyes bid men fulfill her any desire. She was the scandalous darling of Boston's gilded age. SWORN TO REVENGE Now she had sailed half round the world to Hawaii, to ruin the man who had ruined her ... who had taken her, despoiled her, and left her humiliated by her own awakened longings. RAVISHED BY PASSION Corinne hated Jared Burkett as deeply as she wanted his manly, sensuous passion. And Jared ached to possess Corinne, though she would force him to hurt her again. Their love, so violent, so reckless, would either destroy them, or give them completely to the wild abandon of tropical nights in paradise.
