With a heavy heart, spirited but low–born Susanna
Guthrie agrees to honor the deathbed request of the wealthy
young woman who rescued her from a life of poverty.
Masquerading as her benefactress, Susanna travels to the
Virginia colonies to take the dying heiress' place as head
of the sprawling tobacco plantation Briarwood...and to
"marry wisely."
Once, the exquisite impostor would have welcomed the
attentions of handsome Adam Thornton. But now, consorting
with a "hired hand" is unthinkable—though the raw,
sensual power of the rugged plantation manager leaves
Susanna breathless. Driven by a long–held desire for
vengeance, Adam is ruthlessly determined to win both
Briarwood and its beautiful new mistress—only to be
undone by a soul inflamed with passion...and a heart
ennobled by love.
