description: FROM ENGLAND'S LUSH ESTATES TO AMERICA'S ROUGH FRONTIER, THEIR GLORIOUS LOVE COULD NOT BE DENIED
  
  To most of the nobility, Prudence Varney was an outsider - even her porcelain beauty could not erase her heritage of shame. Pursued by an evil lord bent on vengeance, Prudence escapes aboard a ship bound for the colonies in the guise of an indentured male servant.
  
  Her charade goes unnoticed until she is purchased by Flynt Birket, a man whose dark and intriguing gaze senses her secret.
  
  But even as she surrenders to the glories of his sweet embrace, a cruel destiny mocks their passion and threatens to destroy them forever.
