Summary

The hurricane that imprisoned them...alone...in his island fortress was nothing compared to the storm raging within him. For two years, Nicholas Scoville had forbidden himself the pleasure of a woman, a self-imposed sentence that Annie Riley challenged with her healing hands and her infectious humor. When the lights went out, Nicholas took what he wanted, what he needed, what Annie offered.

And learned he was her first.

Annie deserved far better than him. She deserved Prince Charming, not some beast who'd taken her innocence after she repaired his broken body. A man with the means to give her everything but what really mattered.

Then he learned about the baby.
