Isabella is transported to Australia after attacking, with a knife, the wealthy Englishman that raped her. Being the child of rape along with other experiences in her life has resulted in her mistrust men. Especially wealthy Englishmen.

Timothy (Tiger) Carstairs' one ambition in life is to have enough wealth and postion that no one will ever be able to look down on him. With his questionable background, marrying someone from a family with high social standing is imperative. Arrogantly confident about his good looks and accumulated wealth, he sees no problem choosing a wife from the upper echelon.

Tiger sees Isabella fresh off the boat and obtains her contract of indenture. Sparks fly from the beginning. Mutual attraction accompanies the fact she hates him being a wealthy Englishmen. Tiger telling Isabella that he will not marry her does not stop him from acting on his attraction.

Their passionate encounters, as well as the hurt and anger these to people share with each other, will have you crying along with them. An adventure you will not want to miss. I highly recommend reading Blue Haze.
