Publisher's Synopsis
After years of being separated from his childhood friend, Alonso de Rodrigo is finally free to explore the inexplicable connection and deep desire he shares with Arbol. But there are a few problems: it's the mid-1600s, they're in the Caribbean, and Arbol is a slave.
Meanwhile, Alonso's father, Bernardo, has a secret of his own...a skeleton in his closet by the name of Raúl Ignacio Velasco. The sworn adversary with whom Bernardo went into business to keep the family business afloat. Years later, Raúl is eager to continue their peculiar arrangement, despite all debts having been paid. Now, on a lush, tropical island inhabited by rogues and thieves, the four men must make a stand. They are thrust into tumultuous events that will scar them all and change their lives forever. Can father and son unite long enough to plot against Velasco's chicanery and save innocent Arbol? Will they be able to salvage the legacy of Casa Rodrigo? Or will Bernardo and Alonso fall prey to the sadistic villain intent on seeing them all burn in hell?
