Black Diamond

Slayde Huntley, earl of Pembourne, will gladly barter his family's priceless gem in exchange for the return of his kidnapped sister, Aurora. But Courtney, the fiery beauty who steps onto the plank like a sea nymph, is a shock to his senses. Blindsided by passion, Slayde joins Courtney to restore what is rightfully theirs...even as a centuries-old legacy of murder and betrayal threatens to tear them apart forever.

Aurora Huntley would rather die than shackle herself to a man she does not love. Powerless to outwardly defy her brother's decree for her marriage, the unconventional noblewoman devises a wickedly outrageous plan. But her scheme backfires when she conspires with a charismatic stranger to orchestrate her fall from grace...and learns who her lover-to-be really is.
