description: Behold the glory of dreams, the thrall of desire, the triumph of destiny...  --  California, 1844. A land of golden opportunity, as wild and free as the raging Pacific shores. Lt. Jerey Morgan had come to this sun-drenched paradise hoping to entire its people into the Union. But...there was resistance to the handsome Yanqui's mission. And there was Ariana Saldivar -- the beautiful, willful niece of California's most powerful Don -- the one woman who could capture Morgan's soul...and change the course of history.
