No Ordinary Gentleman

The Black Pearl is known to Military Intelligence as a dangerous man. A man who could breathe, move, and kill without making a sound. He is a man without a past, and some say a man without a future. A solitary man who needs no one.
Until he meets Elaina Spencer, a strong-willed woman who fights to earn her independence and declares she will never marry and relinquish her freedom to any man.

Covertly,
Matthew Caine is an operative for military intelligence, known only as the Black Pearl. Considered the best, he is fast and efficient.

Publicly
, Caine is a self-made man. His accomplishments in business have made him wealthy. Along with his handsome features, his money and success have made him popular with women and earned him a reputation of womanizer.

Privately
, Caine craves the comfort and support of a family, but with no knowledge of his birth, he fights the inner battle of feeling unworthy.

In an unexpected encounter with Elaina Spencer, the daughter of the powerful Adrian Spencer, the two are drawn together in a fight against a national enemy and a growing desire for each other.
