description: Caught on the winds of tempestuous desire in the United States of America secession war.
  
  SWEPT UP IN PASSION'S FURIOUS STORM
  
  Breathtaking Bethany Winfield, honey-haired Carolina beauty, sought haven--only to be brutally violated; knew fiery passion--only to seek gentle love; gained tenderness--only to crave burning desire. Initiated into savage island rites, she yearned for respectability. Forced to submit to captivity, she longed for freedom.
  
   CAUGHT ON THE TEMPESTUOUS WINDS OF DESIRE
  
   As a nation struggled to heal the terrible wounds of the Civil War, Bethany battled her divided heart. Fleeing to the Bahamas, to Colorado, then to New York, she tasted love, shame, humiliation, and the heart's revenge before she could find safe harbor in the arms of the one man whose love and strength were destined to hold her turbulent, vagabond heart.
