Hot, sultry passion blooms on a lush Caribbean island, but is it real?

The drums warn of trouble on the island of Saint-Domingue as Elene prepares to be wed to a groom she barely knows. To soothe her fears, her servant Devota gives her a special voodoo perfume said to captivate any man, insuring his lifelong devotion. But a slave uprising interrupts the wedding vows.

Sea Captain Ryan Bayard rescues the fascinating bride-to-be and retreats to safety with her. Trapped together in close quarters as death and destruction rage outside, the scent of her perfume is maddening. The attraction is so strong Ryan cannot resist making passionate love to her.

The pair escape with Devota to New Orleans where greater danger awaits as French Louisiana is taken over by the young United States. But how can Elene, caught in the clash of opposing political factions and threats of revenge, trust to a love that may be only the effect of her sensual perfume?
