THE SPARKLE OF PASSION glowed in Amethyst's big violet eyes. She was on the verge of womanhood, ripe for love, and no one knew it better than Captain Damien Straith.

She wanted the handsome captain to bring her to the heights of rapturous pleasure, but what if she gave him her love and he cast her aside? Delirious with longing, yet afraid to give her heart, she hated the power he had over her body -- and vowed never to give him her love!
