SummarySweeping from the exotic temptations of the Orient to the
ruthless grandeur of 19th century London, The Bartered
Bride is a compelling romantic adventure that begins with a
daring act of courage. After building a fortune amid the
splendor and dangers of the China seas, American adventurer
and merchant prince Gavin Elliott is sailing for London,
where he intends to establish himself in the society that
forced his family to leave in disgrace when Gavin was only
a child. But fate intervenes on an infamous island in the
East Indies when he tries to save a European woman being
sold at a slave auction.
Alexandra Warren ventures to Australia as a young bride
eager for adventure. A dozen years later she is returning
home as widow and mother when a pirate attack separates her
from her beloved daughter and condemns Alex to a life of
servitude. Then a miracle arrives in the form of a steely-
eyed Yankee captain willing to risk everything to set her
free.
A shocking turn of events brings an unexpected alliance
with her rescuer, and Gavin and Alex arrive in London as
intimate strangers joined by too many painful secrets. Yet
attraction and affection soon overcome the trial of their
first meeting. Until the past reaches out to change
Gavin's life—and threatens the passionate love he has found
with his irresistible bartered bride.
