RELUCTANT BRIDE Sailing against her will to a faraway Pacific Island and forced into an arranged marriage to a missionary, lovely Alyssa Whitlock had only her dreams for comfort. Dreams of a handsome stranger who would rescue her and sweep her into his embrace. She certainly had no intention of surrendering to the passion-filled gaze of the ship's captain, handsome Jason Draper--until a sudden storm marooned the two of them on a lush, uncharted island. Alyssa was utterly unprepared for the wave of passion that swept over her as she looked into Jason's deep blue eyes and felt the heat of his strong muscular body as he carried her ashore. And when he caressed her and whispered her name, Alyssa knew she could not help but yield the most secret treasures of her body in sweet, shocking abandon. PERSUASIVE LOVER Captain Jason Draper had mastered the turbulent South Pacific seas, and he certainly wasn't going to let a stubborn missionary miss disrupt his ship's routine or get the better of him! He'd get her to port as quickly as possible--and resist the forbidden temptations of her delicately-curved body and glorious golden hair. But when he saw the sweet fire in her innocent green eyes, felt her soft warm arms drawing him nearer, and tasted the honey of her lips, he was swept into the swirling, rapturous currents of a passion he could no longer deny...or control.
