Behind the foreboding walls of Newgate Prison, a pact is sealed in secret — as a dashing and doomed criminal consents to wed a beautiful heiress . . . in return for one night of unparalleled pleasure.
In the fading echoes of hollow wedding vows, a promise is broken — as a sensuous free-spirit flees to a lush Caribbean paradise, abandoning the handsome stranger she married to the gallows. But Ruark Beauchamp’s destiny is now eternally intertwined with his exquisite, tempestuous Shanna’s. And no iron ever forged can imprison his magnificent passion . . . and no hangman’s noose will deny him the ecstasy that is rightfully his.
Why Shanna?
Well first off I want to say that Avon did a brilliant job with this cover. What I love is how similar of a pose to the older edition of the cover. It makes me want to do a re read of this one!! And the background is so exotic and pretty.
I love the lush tropical feel of the cover and their passionate pose.
I used to have a book by her but I can not find it!
I love the flowers and greens on this one!!
Definitely a swoon-worthy cover!
Hope you enjoy your somewhat-rainy Sunday. 🙂
I totally want to read this book with this cover. Oh my gosh I love the flowers. So pretty.
Loving the color choices!
I agree, the cover for this one is gorgeous. I haven’t read this book. I’m a little nervous it might not be for me.
I’ve actually not read this and I’m hesitant because I haven’t enjoyed many of the old-school romances I’ve tried. But, that cover is beautiful!
Avon has such beautiful historical romance covers! I love the background of this one!
Ohh great pick I absolutely love Avon covers they are always totally gorgeous too me and this one is no exception I love it! Here is my LC for this week.
