Cerissa

Lovely young Cerissa Hammond was a simple peasant girl when Lord Brett Lindsey first encountered her in her uncle's fields. Enflamed by her innnocent beauty, he amused himself by seducing her; then, on a whim, he carried Cerissa off with him to London, where her established her as his mistress, showering her with luxuries of which she had never even dreamed.

Disowned by her family, shunned by polite society, Cerissa lived only for Brett, vowing to follow him to the ends of the earth, though the arrogant, handsome lord had no intention of making her his wife. From elegant London courtesan to stowaway on a pirate ship; from mistress of a fabulous Jamaica plantation to fugitive from justice wanted for murder, Cerissa was swept from one adventure to another, never faltering in her love for the man who had awakened her to the ecstasy of passion, and whose heart she was determined to conquer, no matter what the cost.
