Synopsis

LOVE'S WILDEST PROMISE It seemed so distant and unreachable to the innocent, young Sarah Moody, lady's maid in a wealthy London home. Then suddenly the world turns upside down. Sarah is abducted and smuggled aboard a ship sailing for the Colonies ... a dark and stormy voyage filled with violence, treachery, and unbridled lust. In the midst of wanton revelry and unspeakable hardship Sarah recognizes a spark of something solid and true in one man, Captain Jebediah Hawkins. As the ship reaches New Orleans, Sarah quickly realizes that her adventures have only just begun. The young girl who cringed at the least threat would now boldly face the turbulent dangers of a strange land where bravery and passion know no bounds. And would Captain Hawkins be but the first man to kindle the flaming desires of the raven-haired Sarah ... or the last?
