With seven New York Times bestsellers to her credit and nine million copies of her thirteeen novels in print, Shirlee Busbee enthralls her followers and wins new fans with every historical romance she publishes. Now she transports readers to the lush, tempestuous setting of old Natchez, Mississippi.

To defend her legacy, Arabella Montgomery would make a pact with the devil himself. Her younger brother has gambled away the family plantation, and only one man can help her reclaim it-the arrogant yet dashing Tony Daggett, the man who had once callously toyed with her affections, the man who today demands she become his mistress, the man who secretly had never stopped loving her. Will their stormy alliance be strong enough to still warring hearts-and overcome the hidden enemy that plots their destruction?
