Book description
It is the mid-seventeenth century. Lady Romilly Fielding is an
18-year-old virgin. Beautiful, rich and spoilt, she is travelling to
Virginia to visit relatives who own plantations there. She is
accompanied by her betrothed, whom she does not love, plus several other
friends and servants, but there is a storm when they reach the West
Indies and they are shipwrecked on a tropical island. Set upon by
natives, she and her companions are rescued by a mysterious man and his
ruffian followers. He is Armand Tertius, the scourge of the Caribbean, a
deposed aristocrat who has become a pirate, living like an emperor in
his fortress and controlling all the area around. He has slaves of both
sexes and a stunning mistress, and introduces Romilly to pain/pleasure
and becomes her master. Her pride is ground into the dust and, although
she has other suitors, when the time comes for her to be rescued by a
British ship, she can't make up her mind whether to leave Armand or
remain in his Devil's Paradise forever, captivated by this intriguing
sea-wolf. It is the mid-seventeenth century. Lady Romilly Fielding is
