Description
from
the
back
cover
of
the
book
Fleeing
the
French
revolution,
Countess
Christiane
Bouchard
had
no
choice
but
to
agree
to
a
proxy
marriage
to
Etienne
Delacroix,
a
wealthy
French
planter
on
Saint
Domingue.
As
Christiane's
ship
set
sail,
she
wondered
if
she'd
made
a
bargain
with
the
devil
himself.
For
what
kind
of
man
would
not
let
his
bride
bring
her
grandfather,
her
only
living
kin
with
her?
Upon
arrival,
Christian's
suspicions
are
confirmed
when
she
witnesses
Etienne
brutally
beating
one
of
his
slives.
And
while
she
shudders
at
the
thought
of
her
husband
touching
her,
she
finds
herself
overwhelmingly
attracted
to
Reid
Alexander,
the
plantation's
intriguing
overseer....
Falsely
accused
of
murdering
the
owner
of
Louisiana
plantation,
Reid
Alexander
was
on
his
way
to
the
penal
colony
he'd
been
sentenced
to
when
his
ship
sank,
leaving
no
survivors
but
himself.
Working
for
Etienne
Dealcroix
was
just
a
temporary
means
to
support
himself
until
he
could
clear
his
name.
And
although
he
could
not
deny
Christiane's
exquisite
beauty,
he
swore
he
would
let
noting
get
in
the
way
of
his
mission.
But
when
a
bloody
revolt
kills
Etienne,
Reid
knows
he
cannot
leave
Christian
behind.
Embarking
on a
ship
bound
for
Louisiana,
Christiane
and
Reid
pretend
to
be
married
to
make
their
escape.
And
once
in
New
Orleans,
it
isn't
long
before
their
makeshift
union
makes
them
surrender
to
the
heat
of
desire.
