About the book
Named for the bird of night, she vowed to fly free and soar on the wings of passion. Once, she had been Marie Celeste Ravenne, a shy and lovely free spirit plucked from her Caribbean island home to become the ward of a cruel, scheming English nobleman. But now she was Raven - a fiery temptress whose daring spirit astonished all who sailed the sea...whose sumptuous body excited the lust of the powerful men who longed to claim her, to use her, prehaps to kill her... and whose aching woman's heart led her across elegant ballrooms and raging oceans in search of the dashing rebel chieftain who had won her love forever.
