Mystic Isle (Hidden Passions)

the long version

SHE HAD TO TRUST HIM WITH HER LIFE... In an attempt to rescue her kin, Kathryn Morland insinuated herself into the dark, mystical underworld of New Orleans -- a world filled with hypnotic voodoo that fronted a society of sex slaves. Posing as a member pushed her courage to the limit...and made it impossible to resist the embrace of Roark Lansing. The sexy stranger tripped her heart, stole her breath -- and tempted her to trust him. AND HER HEART? Roark needed Kathryn to trust him, hoped desperately that the daring beauty would read his true intent in his heated touch, his passionate kiss. Because he wasn't the enemy. He was undercover, a man hell-bent on vengeance and prepared to save Kathryn from the evil he knew thrived in the recesses of the bayou.
