Heiress to a vast shipping empire, Juliette le Roy, fragile flower of the French court, is forced to fight for her honor, her fortune, and her life as she struggles against her attraction to her father's avowed enemy, the ruthless Captain Christian Youngblood. Through every heartbreak and trial-marriage to an English lord whose cold indifference is fed by a dark secret, abduction by pirates to the teeming slave markets of Istanbul, swept by fate across the ocean to a Caribbean island engulfed by the raging Revolutionary War-her heart burns for the dashing Youngblood whose family's dark secrets stand in the way of their love.
