About this book

To prevent the duel she was sure would kill her sister's fiance, Anya Hamilton took as her prisoner the magnificently handsome Ravel Duralde. But in a small, stark room on her lush Louisiana plantation, it was Anya who became Ravel's prisoner of desire. For in that little room, Ravel awakened all of Anya's longings--and satisfied them. The protests running through her mind were no match for the heat coursing through her veins, and Anya returned again and again to Ravel's chamber to love and be loved, to experience pleasures she'd never dreamed possible. As Anya struggled to control her raging emotions, and Ravel strove to win her love, they both faced the challenge of staying alive to enjoy again the paradise in each other's arms ...
