Librarian's Note: An alternate cover for this ASIN can be found here.

How far would you go for a million dollars?
Would you set aside your pride--your morals-- and let a mysterious stranger have his way with you?

What if you really needed the money?
What if your livelihood lay in a pile of rubble on the shore?

I should have run, but I didn't. I couldn't, not when my daddy drained his savings to move to paradise--for me.

Death isn't my biggest fear, nor is this freak storm. My biggest fear is Sebastian DeLuca and the things he wants to do to my body.

Writer of words. Mother of Joy. Wife of Compassion. I like to write stories about real people who go through real struggles, and come out the other side stronger. I also like to write smut. Welcome to my brain. It’s a little screwed up, but always well intended.

Well this story had a twist I never saw coming!! You got me good Mrs. Rhoads! Sebastian and Natalie were all kinds of hot!! I was totally hooked when I read Bash’s inner thoughts on page 1– “Images of her strapped to the Saint Andrew’s cross in my dungeon flood my brain.” If you were offered a million dollars by a sexy beast on a deserted island so that he could do whatever he wanted…and I do mean whatever. Would you do it? This is why I love romance books!

“Are you going to f**k me now, Master?” “Would you like that?” I pant. I am f**king panting. Me, the one who’s supposed to be in control, and I’m panting while she kneels, topping from the bottom. “Yes, Sir, very much.”

This was a hot read that’s perfect for vacation on the beach or if you just want a quickie. 😈

If you are looking for a quick spicy novella, Shipwrecked is a great choice. There’s the drama of a ship being wrecked on a deserted island during a storm, a dominating hero, a sassy if a little bratty heroine, and cave sex all wrapped up in 50 pages. I loved the twist because otherwise some parts of this would have been borderline creepy. I had my suspicions from the very first page and I’m glad I was at least on the right track.
Of course I loved Carmel’s writing. I always do. Her writing flows and she’s excellent at writing those steamy scenes.

This was a fun, quick and dirty read!! I loved the story but I did wish it would have been a little bit longer! It was hot and kept my interest. I loved the twists in the story that took place!! If you are looking for a quick and hot dominant and submissive book I would recommend this!!

I read this book in 1 sitting, or rather 1 1/2 because I started it at work and realized it was way too hot for that, so I forced myself to wait to finish it when I got home. Loved every 2nd of it! This author introduced me to a whole new genre and proved that you don't have to sacrifice great writing to tell a hot story. Great character development, with a nice twist at the end. A winner from start to finish. I can't wait to read more from this author. I'm a fan.

Need a quick steamy read, this is for you.

What can I say, I'm a sucker for sexy wealthy men overpowering/dominating sassy/quick mouthed women.

Did I mention the lemons, the sex oh lordie I wish it was longer. 😉

Carmel Rhodes, road that storm perfectly, I would watch out for this new author, she's passionate and dedicated to her words (and her fans, don't forget to join her army). Bring on her next published work!

Shipwrecked is an amazing short story that does not disappoint. The author's vivid portrayal of the characters caused me to forge an immediate relationship with them. I began to immediately cheer for them as a couple. Of course, I read the story in one sitting and read it again the following day. This tale is definitely for mature audiences and it will leave you wanting more.

I'm a sucker for deserted island stories, and this one did not disappoint. It was quick, fun, and dirtier than I expected but I loved it! And I loved the surprise twist!

Beach Read.

I hope you enjoyed reading Nat and Bash as much as I enjoyed writing them. I wrote this listening to a lot of Beyoncé and dreaming of white sand beaches.

This is a short, fast paced, hot, steamy, dirty BDSM read.

If there's someone to be shipwrecked with it would be Sebastian, he's a billionaire CEO, sexy as sin, dominant, doesn't take no for an answer and knows how to give the big O's.
Natalie runs a small fishing boat business since losing her husband, this sexy customer is trouble, in a illegally hot way. She's drawn to him. Then they strike a deal a deal she can't refuse, she has the best sex of her life.

But will they get an HEA? or is all not quite what it seems?

A Billionaire CEO bad boy rents a boat , sexy female captain included .
Can he offer her something she just can't refuse before they go down with the ship ?
This was a short story , but it was a unique storyline full of intense , erotic Dom /Sub sex , a deal made and payment rendered and oh yeah ...a shipwreck which kept me entertained from beginning to end .

Talk about an epic scene!! Can’t imagine what was going through Sebastian’s mind when the boat actually wrecked. I love the kinky kind of story! Loved it! Can’t wait to read the next book!

This short novella is extremely hot and steamy. I love a good fantasy Dom/Sub story and this was just that. I like how you are clueless that the pair in this book is playing out a hot AF fantasy. I'm looking forward to reading the next novella from this series.

This was a hot little novella that gives you exactly what it says it will..or does it👀

This starts of very crazy ( which I was down for ) but there's a twist at the end that makes it seem a lot less crazy and instead makes it a fun little adventure for these two

Pretty good short story

The dominant millionaire and poor submissive has been told way too many times, but this one has a fun twist.

Oh dear, this was quite delicious…

It wasn’t the best storyline ever, the writing also wasn’t the greatest but I enjoyed this so very much. The way the story is told was delightful.

The fantasy, the role play, I want more.
