A pact is sealed in secret behind the foreboding walls of Newgate Prison. In return for a night of unparalleded pleasure, a dashing condemned criminal consents to wed a beautiful heiress, thereby rescuing her with his name from an impending and abhorred arranged union. But in the fading echoes of hollow wedding vows, a solemn promise is broken, as a sensuous free spirit takes flight to a lush Caribbean paradise, abandoning the stranger she married to face the gallows unfulfilled. But Ruark Beauchamp's destiny is now eternally intertwined with that of the tempestuous, intoxicating Shanna. He will be free and he will find her. For no iron ever forged can imprison his resolute passion and no hangman's noose will deny Ruark the ecstasy that is rightfully his.
