A daring historical romance set at the beginning of the Victorian Era:
—She returned to Jamaica to claim her land, her freedom—and the forbidden love that could not be denied—

​—A child when her father's death left her the sole heir to a vast plantation on the lush island of Jamaica, and great estates in England, Elyse was raised in England by scheming relatives ready to claim her wealth by any means. When they announced her engagement to a broken earl, Elyse makes a daring escape, fleeing to her beloved home in the Caribbean.

​—Then she saw Brace Denham, the handsome convict's son she had once adored as a brother. Now, to her surprise, she desired him as a man. Brace, the son of a debtor, fought against his love for her. Elyse, impassioned, fought for the love his pride would deny.
