description: The year is 1720 and Lady Celine Fortescue is summoned by her father, Sir James, to join him on St Cecilia, the turbulent tropical island which he governs. But the girl who steps off the boat into the languid and intoxicating heat isn't the same girl who was content to stay at needlework in a dull Surrey mansion. On a moonlit night, perfumed with the scent of night-blooming flowers, Celine liaises with Liam O'Brian, one of the ship's officers to whom she became secretly betrothed on the long sea voyage. When Liam falls victim to a plot that threatens his life, the debauched Lord Wraxall promises to intervene, in return for Celine's hand in marriage. Celine, however, has other ideas.Exotic and opulent, this story of indulgent luxury is stimulation for the senses.
