description: TASHA: Ravishing dark-eyed, her face framed in swirl of rich black hair, she pulsed with anger and desire. Innocent of the secret of her birth, she cursed her wealthy father for sending her to the barbarous Alaska coast. She was alone. She was afraid. Then, in a tempestuous sea crossing, fate hurled her into the arm of a blue-eyed Yankee sailor. JARED: He was the dashing second mate of the Freedom. Tasha's beauty awoke in him a passion he'd never dreamed of, a love so ecstatic it made him ache with pleasure. When they parted, he could not stop searching for Tasha, only Tasha. From Alaska to San Francisco to the glittering drawing rooms of Washington's diplomatic world, he journeyed in feverish pursuit, yearning to possess her.
