Born to the prominent Van Leyden family on the Caribbean island of Sint Maarten, Pieter Van Leyden lives the dream existence. He could not remember a moment when he didn’t spend all of his time with his childhood friend Joss. Even though he was the son of the plantation owner and Joss was one of the plantation slaves, they were oblivious to everything outside their private little world. While their feelings slowly turn to passionate love, events outside their control threaten to tear them apart. With his stubborn father pushing him to get married and have a family, Pieter tries to ignore the reality facing him. As time goes on and fate proves to challenge them, Pieter finds himself in the new world of the United States ready for a new life. When memories come to life as he comes face to face with the man that has haunted his dreams since a chance meeting in Amsterdam, Pieter can only hope to forget his past. While he grows closer to his excitingly handsome employer Sebastian Cane, he never expects ghosts from his past to resurface and test him like never before.
I thoroughly enjoyed this dramatic yet beautiful story. Filled with romantic moments, suspenseful twists, and sensual exploration, this story is sure to please even the most demanding reader. The historic detailing only added to the story while the surprise ending highlighted the wonderful storytelling talents of author Stevie Woods.
