In this sensuous antebellum romance, Angelica Carew
awakens after a boating accident to find herself married to
her rescuer, Renold Harden. Renold, she learns, is the
stepson of the man who lost his Louisiana plantation to her
gambler father in a game of cards and then committed suicide.
Renold believes his stepfather was cheated and will go

scheme to marry his enemy’s beloved daughter. But Renold
Harden’s vengeful plans did not take into account his
feelings for his new bride. As the two grow close, Renold
tries to maintain his charade while putting his plans in
motion, but Angelica’s beauty, grace and courage stir the
deepest feelings he’s ever known. When Angelica learns the
truth behind Renold’s actions and her father’s dishonesty,
who will she stand by—her adored father, or the man
she loves?
Renold knows he’ll follow his father’s bitter fate if
his deception destroys Angelica’s budding love for him...
Can he let go of his burning need for vengeance?
