A young widow is lured by the siren call of an exotic land in this steamy historical romance from the #1 New York Times bestselling author.

Fern Michaels takes us on a riveting journey, where a young woman finds her destiny opening new vistas of promise and hope . . .
Royall Banner ventured into a lush new unknown world to claim her family's heritage. There, far from the reaches of civilization, she became entranced with the exotic, enigmatic Sebastian Rivera. As excitement with her new life consumed her, Royall found herself in the midst of a strange and troubling culture where stunning opulence mirrored terrible bondage. In the center of it all stood the plantation owner, who controlled the land and everyone on it—and who meant to have Royall for his own.
