In 18th century Canada, Overlord Seigneur Richard Tonnacour plots to satisfy his lust and take shy Emilie's virginity through any means possible.***Set in the Saint Lawrence River area of New France during the 17th century, when women were only as valuable as their pedigree, this is a scenic twist on the "love conquers all" romance genre. It is an adult tale of depravity and blackmail that finds a shy but beautiful virgin separated from her finance as she flees Overlord Tonnacour's unrelenting pursuit. Graphic sex, uncontrolled violence, kidnapping, blackmail, a small pox plague and religious enlightenment are just a few of the twists used to show who the characters are, how they think and how they react. There are numerous peaks and valleys in the action as the Emilie and Robert move from one unpleasant incident to another before finally marrying in an ultimately predictable outcome.
