When she walked into the ballroom at SwanSea Place leading two snow-white peacocks, Jake Deverell knew the woman was worthy prey..At the stroke of midnight as the twenties roared into the new year 1929, Jake set out to capture the lovely Arabella and quickly found he was no longer a man on the prowl--but a man ensnared. He was entranced by the extravagant yet sweetly mysterious woman. The illegitimate son and unwilling heir of a millionaire who abandoned him and his mother when he was born, Jake scorned all his father had achieved. Now, involved in bootlegging and pitted against the notorious racketeer Wade Scalia, Jake is falling more and more deeply in love with Arabella. When, suddenly, her life is jeopardized by his illegal activities, he must risk everything for her..and for the destiny at SwanSea.
