Indigo Fire — Krista Janssen

A beautiful and boldy independent woman, Eden Palmer is driven by one desire -- to save her family's South Carolina plantation from reverting to the English crown. In Barbados, she bargains with a former buccaneer to buy the secret for growing a profitable crop of indigo. But on her journey home Eden's ship is boarded by a band of pirates. And though she stands strong in the face of danger, she becomes powerfully drawn to the chip's courageous captain...

Baron Derek von Walden is sailing, with his fellow Swiss colonists, to the untamed territory of South Carolina. Tormented by a tragic past he cannot forget, Derek is stunned to find his ravaged heart warming to the spirited Eden Palmer...

Amidst the vast, magnolia scented forests of the Ashley River valley, Eden and Derek's love flourishes. Yet a devastating secret and a fateful fire bring their foundation of trust to ashes, and imperil the glorious passion they are destined to share.
