Golden-haired, green-eyed Glenda Galvez could not forget the sadistic Englishman who raped her mother and marked her as a bastard child. Now, her fiercest desire was to escape the lush eden of her native Honduras and create a new life for herself. A position as a servant on a wealthy plantation was hardly what Glenda had dreamed of—until a seductive Creole gentleman arrived, arousing a passionate desire deep within her... Mistaking the blond angel for a pampered gringa, Read deBaulieu was transfixed by Glenda's sultry charms and longed to give her the world she'd always yearned for. But another man was determined to have Glenda—even if it meant devising the most vicious scheme of all. Now, Read and Glenda must embark on a voyage to untangle the treacherous lies and painful secrets that threaten to tear them apart. From Mayan ruins to the glamour of New Orleans, they will discover a restless desire that knows no boundaries...
