The Jacaranda Tree

KISSES UPON A WILDER SHORE...
A sense of foreboding had gripped Arabella Darracott when she left England to join her guardian in Australia. Years before a gypsy fortune-teller had told her of a purple blossomed tree, a far-off shore, and a devil of a man who awaited her there. Now, as she neared her destination, shipwreck and fate threw her into the arms of a rescuer, "Demon" Lucien Sinclair, the notorious ex-convict who had become rich in the gold fields of New South Wales. Lucien -- wild and wickedly handsome -- was the fallen archangel of her dreams. But the crime in his past was linked to a dangerous secret. And the passion awakened under the Jacaranda tree could cost Arabella her future, even her life...or give her Lucien forever to cherish, forever to love.
