Jasmine Beaudine is a beautiful woman—the daughter of an unmarried New Orleans Creole. She learned early how to use her beauty and delicious body to get what she wanted—and she wants William Holt.
William is handsome, rich, and is the most sought after bachelor of Boston’s elite. William tells her she is only his sexual toy and is not the type woman he plans to marry—his woman of choice is a young woman in Wales, whom he is scheming to get shipped to America.
Enraged, and feeling abandoned, Jasmine devises a plan to trap William into marriage.
