Untamed!
She tore away from him and ran into the bedroom.
“No, Morgan -- no!” he said hoarsely.
She stopped still. “Why not?” she whispered.
“Not here,” Ross said thickly. “Not here, Morgan.”
“Damn your soul to hell. I told you I wouldn't play second fiddle to a ghost!” Then she lunged forward and Ross felt four white-hot streaks of fire move down his face. Morgan's hand came away with bloody nails.
He moved toward her and slapped her right and left, and her head jerked upon her neck, and the tears jetted out of the corners of her eyes.
“You beast, she moaned.
“You big ugly, savage beast!
God, how long it took me to get you untamed!”

Work Description
Born in a shack on Natchez-Under-the-Hill, the abode of cutthroats, thieves, brawling river men and ladies of easy virtue, Ross Pary has but one goal: to reach Natchez-on-the Hill,where gentlemen planters lived a life of graciousness and ease in their portico-ed mansions.
Yet, he loves a woman from Cuba enough to invade her country to in a desperate search to find her. Floodtide dramatizes Ross Pary's struggle for social acceptance despite his the passions and tangled loves. It is the story of a chivalrous South overreaching itself for an overseas slave empire in the floodtide of its declining fortunes in the lush decade prior to the Civil War.
