About This Book
IN CHARLESTON THE OLD SOUTH LIVED ON WITH A
SMOLDERING LEGACY OF SIN, SECRETS ... AND LOVEI
From one of the South's finest families, blue-eyed, auburn-haired Laurel Sinclair Laughton found that poverty could push even a lady to desperate acts -- like pursuing a business deal right across the threshold of Miss Elsie's, the best whorehouse in Charleston. She didn't know she was being followed by a man who was about to change her life.
Outlaw Peach Brady had come to the sultry city calling himself Seth Tait, the name he was born with and the man he hoped to become. He had a price on his head in Wyoming, but the West and the man himself had changed. Seth wanted respectability -- and a new beginning with the cache of Yankee gold a Confederate officer called Gus Sinclair had hijacked and secretly buried before he died. Now Seth reached out and grabbed the wrist of the woman who was Sinclair's daughter and the key to Seth's future. And Laurel felt the electrifying touch of the sensual stranger whose laughing eyes and hungry kisses could sweep her toward a choice between wealth and betrayal ... between family and a passion no force on heaven or earth could stop.
