description: FROM THE STORMY SHORES OF SALEM...
  
  Suddenly stripped of her family fortune, Eliza Parrish is heartlessly rejected by the Montgomerys, her fiance's family, who then turn her into an indentured servant. Now she must accompany their spoiled daughter Philomena to England ... a perilous voyage that will change all their lives forever.
  
  TO THE STEAMY PASSION OF THE LOUISIANA BAYOUS
  
  They are met on the high seas by Jean-Luc Gautier, a daring French buccaneer obsessed with revenge against the Montgomerys for the false accusations that sent him to jail. His plot is to kidnap their daughter and hold her for ransom. Little does he suspect that the pale young beauty he has captured is not Philomena, but her servant Eliza. Ahead lies a vast sea of unknown passage, a dark and dangerous journey through the bayous, and a sprawling Southern plantation where dark secrets and stormy passions are destined to surrender to the ecstasy of an overpowering love.
