Publisher Description
After building a fortune in the exotic East, American adventurer and merchant prince Gavin Elliott sets his sails for London to begin a new life. Then fate intervenes on an infamous island in the East Indies where a European woman faces degradation and peril. Though saving her may cost Gavin his life, he cannot refuse to help the fierce beauty who touches his heart and soul with her indomitable spirit.
Alexandra Warren is returning home from Australia as a widow and mother when a pirate attack condemns her to a life of servitude. A miracle arrives in the form of a steely-eyed Yankee captain, whose reckless courage wins them freedom and a safe passage home to London. Intimate strangers joined by too many secrets, they slowly begin to heal the past with attraction and tenderness—until an old enemy reaches out to threaten the passionate love Gavin has found with his irresistible bartered bride.

"I love Mary Jo Putney's writing. This one has some really wild adventures for the characters, but what I love best is that even in the midst of the crazy and fantastic, her characters remain real, true to themselves, and reasonable, honorable people."

" Book 3 and I find out that I have read this one before long ago! I liked it the best of the series and even though having the background form the previous books was nice, it was not necessary. A different plot line for a romance story!! "

" The explosive ending will stay in my mind for a long time. "

" Wonderful hero (Mr Honourable), set in Indonesia and London, false murder charges, kidnapping, pirates, slavery, bizarre rituals, unexpected legacy. "

" I wanted to like it...and some of it I did. However, any ONE of the obstacles the protagonists faced would have been enough conflict. As it is, the punches keep rolling in, and I started to feel detached...like watching a bad scary movie. Became inured to their issues. "

" Great writing; great historic detail. Over the top heroine who can do anything and everything and a gobsmacked hero who worships at her feet. I like a stronger hero and a heroine with who isn't so perfect. "

" Very good. Ending a little weak but the rest of the book makes up for it. IMHO. "
— Ruth, 1/3/2012 -
" Alex and Gavin made a great couple even tho the beginning of their relationship was very hard to read..I did enjoy the book and was glad to have found this author. "

" Because the prologue begins saying the woman died and the man's on trial for her murder, I spent most of the book waiting for her to die. Totally ruined it for me even though I knew it would probably turn out that she didn't actually die. "
