«И скроен ты ладно и сшит по лекалу «Принцесс», В сапфировом море янтарное солнце сверкает, Когда же на палубы снова взойдём, кто же знает? Но тесен ведь мир и, наверное, полон чудес».

Katerina looked out of the window, as if she felt that they were waiting for her: she saw Grisha’s classmate. He was handsome and looked like an agent from a movie. Cloak. Belt. Usually, young people rarely use belts. Now Grisha stood and dutifully waited for Katerina.

Not even love could stop her…Despite her privileged life in the sultry paradise of Martinique, the beautiful and daring Sapphire Fabergine will never be satisfied until she claims the honor and legitimacy that has been denied her. Sapphire sails to London to confront the aristocratic family who had disowned her before she was even born–only to find that her father is dead and that his title has passed to Blake Thixton, an attractive yet loathsome distant American cousin.Convinced Sapphire is determined to bring about his ruin, Blake kidnaps her and sails back to America, where he presents her with a choice: become his mistress or serve him as a maid in his waterfront mansion. Without means in this unfamiliar land, Sapphire is trapped. But she will not compromise her quest for honor so easily–not even for the man she has come to desire.
