About the book
Black Swan book #1 A FIERY YEARNING THAT DEFIED EVERY RULE! Adam--a legend in his own time, an outlaw in his own land, the daring captain of The Black Swan who risked his life to lead slaves to freedom... Dulcie--the dazzling, reckless daughter of Savannah's most prosperous slave breeder... Theirs was an impossible, rapturous love-flames of passion challenged their hearts as savagely as the fires of battle consumed their beloved homeland. Joined together by the sweet agony of their desire only to torn asunder by the brutal horrors of war, they lived for the one radiant moment that would united them again... Sweeping from the pride and charm of old New Orleans to forbidden Caribbean forests throbbing with voodoo drums; from the haughty elegance of New York City to the raucous, romantic bravado of Nassau's exhilarating port; here is the splendorous saga of fierce ecstasies, violent truths and wild dreams... Set in the Civil War South between the years 1852 and 1865, THE BLACK SWAN recounts the story of two memorable and powerful characters. Adam Tremain, the captain of the Black Swan will deny his loyalty to the South to become a blockade runner, transporting fugitive slaves to freedom. Dulcie Moran is the beautiful, defiant daughter of Savannah's most prosperous slave-breeder. Despite and treachery, jealousy, deceit and passion weave and interweave through their epic love story, played out against the backdrop of a land at war.
