Descrição da editora
A Southern belle finds passion as wild as the American West in this historical romance of antebellum New Orleans and Gold Rush-stricken San Francisco
After a tragic carriage accident leaves her a widow, young Celine Kirkland finds temporary refuge with the Andrews family. But when the infamous flirt Trevor Andrews returns home for a visit, Celine is overwhelmed with temptation. Determined to live as an independent woman, she decides to indulge in one night of passion before leaving for San Francisco. But that one night leads to a love unlike any she’s known before.
Beneath Trevor’s swaggering air and lusty grin is a caring and sensitive man. And he finds in Celine a beauty and strength unmatched by any Southern belle. But as Trevor and Celine each prepare for long journeys across the country, will their paths ever meet again?
"The sexual tension barrels ahead right to the end." --USA Today bestselling author Leigh Greenwood
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In pre Civil War Louisiana, Celine Kirkland is grieving the death of her husband and unborn child. She finds refuge at the plantation home of the Andrews family, but is thrown off guard when ladies' man Trevor Andrews comes to visit. Celine worries that if she succumbs to her powerful attraction to Trevor, she would just be another of his many conquests, but as she discovers the man beneath Trevor's arrogance, she can't help falling in love with him. Meanwhile, she inadvertently starts a rift between Trevor and his cousin Cameron. Roth (A Duke's Wicked Kiss) creates an admirable protagonist in Celine, who is more than a simpering Southern belle. Celine hasn't forgotten her humble beginnings and is determined to exercise her independence in a society where women have few rights. When she decides to make the long and dangerous trip to California, her strength of character grows. The complex characters and rich sensuality make this a story to be savored.
