The Frenchman was everything Jeanette St. John detested. A mercenary, a man with no morals, a renegade. But Kitt was reckless and daring, cautious and calculating - and he was captain of one of the fastest ships on the ocean.
And so she bargained with the devil - on his terms. In exchange for transporting her cotton and turning it into medical supplies and ammunition for her beloved Confederacy, she was to let him ravish her for every shipment he delivered.
Author Note
As a young girl, I had weekly toted an armful of books
home (on the bus) from the library. Among them was the novel The
Scarlet Pimpernel. It inspired me years later to write Lavender Blue.
