The guns of war blazed beyond the horizon as the Confederate ship Skybird raced across the sea with Cassandra Valcour defiantly at the helm. Before the war, she'd been a flirtatious New Orleans belle; now she was 'The Fox', a notorious blockade runner the Yankees could never outrun. With a price on her head and fury raging in her heart, the flame-haired rebel risked her life for her beloved cause. But on the shimmering shores of Bermuda, she met a challenge that could prove her undoing: devastatingly handsome Nicholas Forrester--scoundrel, seducer and Union spy! Only President Davis knew Nick's true identity: A Virginia-born gentleman serving his government as a double agent. But Nick also had a secret agenda of his own. Determined to capture the elusive Fox, he tracked his unsuspecting quarry to the sunswept island of St. George--only to discover that beneath boots and breeches was a willful beauty of fiery spirit and hot-blooded desire! As they came together in a firestorm of searing passion, nothing--not even the savage cannons of war--could tear him from the rapturous embrace of this wild, wanton woman who'd beckoned him.
