Beautiful 20 year old Caroline Fane thought she had known the ultimate in degradation and danger when she was unjustly accused of adultery and murder and flogged naked in public. She just barely escaped the gallows with 29 year old Justine Lawrence, the daring, flamboyant highwayman, whose lust for her she could not resist. But now in the New World, Caroline and Justin were thrust into bondage at the notorious plantation of Montrose, where swaggering overseers, servants and slaves, and a sadistic mistress intermingled in strange relationships, demanding erotic satisfactions.
