Luciana's Forbidden Currents of Stormy Surrender

I never imagined a dive off the remote Colombian reef would turn into this. Luciana Pérez, that 20-year-old Colombian firecracker with ash blonde feathered long hair whipping in the wind, forest green eyes sparkling like emeralds under the threatening sky, her golden skin glowing against the churning turquoise sea.
