A terrible sense of foreboding had gripped Arabella Darracott ever since she had left England to join her guardian in New South Wales. Years before, a Gypsy fortune-teller had warned her of a purple-blossomed tree on a faraway shore, and of a devil of a man who awaited her there. Now, as she nears her destination, shipwreck and fate leave her stranded in the wilds of Australia, the only survivor of the Heather Rose, the vessel on which she had journeyed to her destination. Lost and ill with fever, Arabella awakens to find herself at the mercy of her rescuer, "Demon" Lucien Sinclair, an infamous ex-convict who has become rich in the gold fields of New South Wales. Lucien --- wild and wickedly handsome --- is the fallen archangel of her dreams. But the crime in his past is linked to a dangerous secret. And the passion he ignites in Arabella beneath the Jacaranda tree of her fortune could cost her not only her future, but also her very life!

"What is so astounding about this novel is that it is more than a belly-tickling love story with jaw-dropping scenes of passion. It is actually loaded with Biblical references, and filled with important symbolism. In fact, this story is such a spectacular myth that it deserves a great deal of afterthought once the book is finished. It has all of the plot elements which are so important to an engaging, page-turning romance. But then it goes beyond all of that, and invites itself to be examined more closely even after you've finished it and put it on the bedside table, smiling at the joy of reaching such a happy ending to such a nice story." ---A Reader from Texas on The Jacaranda Tree
