On a lush Virginia plantation, Heather played out the adventure of her life, assuming the role of a high-born belle. There, on a sultry night she discovered the depths of Jared's ardor and her own responding passion. But a mysterious feud threatened their fragile charade and their blossoming love. Now Heather must concoct a reckless scheme and abandon her airs and graces ... to claim the most precious role of all, a life with her darling Jared!
