After the Wind

Across an Era of Hot Jazz, Cool Gin, and Quick Millions -- They Were Borne by the Sweet Surge of Love....

Polly Dare -- She was a saucy, flame-haired waif. Lifted from the gutter by her own bold desires - to the gilded mansions of old Nob Hill.

Luke Harmon -- He was San Francisco's Bootlegger King, a handsome adventurer restlessly driven by a thirst for danger - and a talent for power.

From the moment they met, he knew he must have her; as she knew she must one day surrender....

And in the dim-lit speakeasies along the Barbary Coast, heady witth champagne and lust...through Chinatown's underground dens of white slaves and opium dreams...amid the easy and bogus morals of the glittering haut monde...their hidden passion flared....

While again and again, in torment, in pride, they were forced to flee from the promise of sweet, burning desire and the feverish, fated love that would never set them free....
