The story
A woman may give a man every sensual pleasure he desires, but she must never give him her heart. That was the lesson Delphine Antoine's mother taught her from birth. A rare beauty, Delphine was trained to be a temptress destined for a life of luxury as the mistress of a rich man, and she relished the challenge of seducing the dark, brooding Earl of Clairbourne, Lord Michael Elliott Mallory.
Alone with him on a tropical Caribbean island, she expected him to indulge in her talents. Instead he resisted even her most intimate persuasions. In the heat of the mango summer the two discovered that her mother may have had it wrong, and that only by giving their hearts could they find the greatest ecstasy.
