"To beautiful Laura Nolan, the mansion on Indigo Place wasn't just a home--it was her life's passion. Now old family debts were forcing her to sell and, much to her surprise, James Paden was the prospective buyer. Once the high school bad boy, he'd been too dangerous to flirt with, but too gorgeous to ignore. Now he was all man, and he still had the devastating power to seduce Laura's senses, to make her shiver with emotions she dared not confess... He was a rebel millionaire from the wrong side of the tracks... Years ago, James Paden skipped town, leaving behind Saturday night drag races for the thrill of the professional race circuit. He'd burned rubber in the fast lane of beautiful women and big money, but now he's back, a millionaire tycoon with a dream--to lay claim to 22 Indigo Place and its alluring owner. In his mind Laura had always been the girl he couldn't have, the rich man's daughter for whom he'd never be good enough....until that moonlit night when the fierce touch of his lips branded her forever his..."

"FAITH DEVLIN: A poor, outcast child in Prescott, Louisiana, she'd always adored the town's golden boy from afar. But he called her white trash that sultry Southern night when his rich, respected father disappeared, along with her pretty Mom. Now Faith wanted to hate Gray Rouillard...not to feel a powerful surge of desire. But she couldn't quench her passion, any more than she could hide the truth about the past she had waited so long to unravel.

GRAY ROUILLARD: Even when he raised hell, he did it with style. Reckless, charming, and backed by Rouillard money, Gray controlled the town of Prescott -- and Devlin was a name he never wanted to hear again. But when he gazed at Faith Devlin, all he saw was a swirl of tangled sheets and her silken flesh beneath him. To care for her was impossible, unthinkable...because Gray Rouillard planned to use all his power to ruin her."

But the one thing htat was wrong was very wrong, at least in Elliot's mind; she was young and just beginning her career. If she tied herself to him now, she'd be cheated out of all that the future could hold."

"Jessica Stanton, a financially independet widower, is the only woman to oppose Nikolas Constantinos, Greek billionare. Because of his uncontrolled response to her and her defiance, Niko belives it is fine to treat Jessica like a disobidient dog. The only repulsive thing he did not do to this character is physically beat her, and truthfully I don't think that would have shocked me as some of the things he did throughout the book.
This book, although it is appalling, demonstrates how much Howard has drawned and pushed her female characters into confident roles in her recent works"
