"The exciting second chapter in the wonderfully sexy Arda trilogy!"

Georgia Steel has traveled to an orgasm-a-minute paradise. Or it would be if she wasn't being persistently chased by Fari Tul'Mar. Fari is the Sailkeeper of Arda and the man claiming to be her soul's mate. Georgia has only one hard and fast rule for life, unlike her cousin Elise's three rules. Georgia's motto: "Fuck 'em and leave 'em. No muss, no fuss."

Fari Tul'Mar has been lusting after Georgia since she first arrived on Arda a few months ago. But Georgia has thus far resisted his attentions, preferring instead to spend time having sexual relations with his sister Krysta. Once Fari learns the reasons for Georgia's hesitance around strong men, he vows to woo her without scaring her.

Georgia has a painful secret that dates back to high school. This experience has colored all of her male relationships ever since. She doesn't know if she will ever be able to truly trust a man with her heart. After all, all men are the same underneath. Right?

When Georgia convinces Fari to consent to a non-binding sexual arrangement, this story really heats up! Fari does his best to show Georgia that he can be trusted and that seeing to her pleasure is his prime objective. But will ominous indications of a pending confrontation with the Outlanders, non-psi Ardans who cherish the ancient ways, cause Fari to put their relationship on the back burner? Fari has never gotten over his parents' deaths, for which he blames himself. Can he forgive himself if anything happens to Arda while he's cavorting with Georgia?

THE SAILKEEPER'S BRIDE is an exciting, sexy sequel to THE SAILMASTER'S WOMAN. The group sex aspects are not as prominent here, allowing the reader to focus more fully on Georgia's and Fari's developing relationship. Readers will be eagerly awaiting THE CAPTAIN'S FANCY in October to see how this amazing trilogy ends. Kudos to Ms. Windsor on another engrossing, one-sitting read!

Summary

When fire-tempered Georgia Steel arrives on Arda, she knows she's landed in an orgasm-a-minute paradise. There's just one muscular, handsome problem — a big stranger who wants her for a soul's mate. Fari Tul'Mar reminds Georgia of an Earth police officer, only tons more arrogant. Not to mention much, much better looking...

The Sailkeeper of Arda gets what he wants, when he wants it, how he wants it — until he meets Georgia Steel. Fari Tul'Mar quickly learns that Georgia's loud mouth serves as armor for a wound too deep for words. He must be cautious. Gentle. Careful. Unfortunately for Fari, cautious, gentle, and careful are not his strong points.

Add an Outlander uprising and Fari's own dark, painful secret, and this couple heads for disaster — or scorching passion and love deeper than either can imagine.
