Marietta was a woman wronged -- raped by her employer, charged with theft by her jealous mistress, and shipped to the Colonies to serve fourteen years as bound servant to the man who bid highest.

But Marietta was beautiful, educated and resilent, with a provocative body meant for love, and she was determined to prevail.

Over the handsome, silent planter who broght her to be his housekeeper. Over the dashing entrepreneur who supplied girls to the New Orleans red light district. Over the wealthy sadist who used her in his madness.

She would conquer them all -- if she could subdue the hot, unruly passions of the heart.

I read maybe 100 pages of this and then lost interest. Can't win 'em all! :) Thanks for sharing!
