Desperate to escape an arranged marriage, Cuban beauty Angelina Ximenes y Herrera fled to Key West intending to build a life that would be hers alone. But when her past unexpectedly caught up with her, she realised there was only one way to avoid being claimed by the man her father had chosen for her: marry another . . . in name only.
Drawn to the fiercely independent Angelina, Cuban revolutionary Rafael Estava refused to let her become some other man's wife. And though he agreed to become her platonic husband, he could not deny his powerful desire to possess her, body and soul. Soon tempestuous forces more powerful than the hurricane descending on their island paradise unleashed a mutual passion . . . and threatened their growing need to forge a lifelong bond.
