Book description

A MAN WHOSE POWER AND PASSION KNEW NO LAWS. THE WOMEN WHO WERE MORE THAN HIS MATCH.

John Haggard - In his private Caribbean kingdom, he reveled in ruling men and women body and soul. He came to England seeking new worlds to conquer with his fabulous wealth, and new pleasures for his insatiable flesh to enjoy.

Emma - An exquisite indentured servant girl, who was bought by Haggard to amuse him in bed. She soon broke his iron command with a love that knew no barrier of class - and a passion that threatened to destroy them both.

Alison - Her porcelain beauty seemed almost too perfect to be true and too delicate to withstand the force of John Haggard's desires. Too late he discovered the inferno of depravity within this seemingly innocent young creature as she became his wife and maddening curse.
