About this ebook

The Louisiana sun beat mercilessly on Nicole St. Claire just as fate, too, had been merciless. The once wealthy, flirtatious belle stood on the auction block to be sold as a servant. Her sensual figure disguised, her glorious titian hair disheveled, she looked like a waif, but she was all woman, trembling when she recognized the highest bidder—idol of her childhood dreams, the owner of plantation Belle Chene.

A man of blazing passion, Alex du Villier bought the girl out of pity, but her aqua eyes stirred his soul and her body ignited his blood. She would be the perfect mistress to make him forget his coming marriage to a cold, haughty heiress. Now he intended to teach this innocent beauty that although he had purchased her freedom, he could steal her heart.

An affair of burning desires. . . . Under a Creole moon their passion became a wildfire neither could control, driving them to heart-wrenching choices of silken sin . . . or freedom and love.

Ratings and reviews

TRIGGER WARNING: seriously put a trigger warning on this book. I was so angry i wanted to burn it. Hes abusive and basically keeps her trapped. Yes he has her under contract but if he actually loved her it wouldnt have been an issue. The ending is sub par but there really was no recovering from the mistreatment. Its legitimantly a book about Stockholm Syndrome. People that said Fifty Shades what about raping and Stockholm syndrome obviously never read this book.

Wonderful read loved it.
