Good not great. Fairly typical historical romance. My favorite of the series because of the characters.
Závěrečná kniha tetralogie Star Quartet.

San Francisko má v půli 19. století k civilizovanému městu ještě daleko a hemží se drsnými muži. Takový je i James Wilkinson. Ani v nejmenším ho netrápí svědomí, když unese z ostrova Maui mladičkou dceru misionáře Julianu, aby ji v San Francisku prodal nějakému bohatému chlípníkovi. Juliana má štěstí, protože o příjezdu lodi s dodávkou žen se dozví místní doktor Michael Morfia, přezdívaný „Ochránce". Julianu z minulosti zná a bez váhání ji zachrání. Dívka chápe, že by se mu měla odevzdat tělem i duší, neboť je to muž, po jakém každá žena touží - hezký, charakterní, ušlechtilý a laskavý. Stane se jeho manželkou, avšak show more idyla nenastane a drama pokračuje, neboť ve hře je nadále i krutý Wilkinson.. show less
