Ever since her mother’s death, Tisha Caldwell’s father has treated her like a prisoner. Although she’s twenty years old, he expects her to be as chaste as a child, flying into rages whenever she comes home late from a date, or when he suspects she’s been kissing some boy. When he sees her arms wrapped around the suave Roarke Madison, Tisha’s father decrees they must be wed.
And Roarke is no help at all when he presents her with the most beautiful diamond solitaire engagement ring she’s ever seen. Now, in the rough country of the great state of Arkansas, Tisha must balance her need for liberation with the love beginning to grow in her heart.

Review: I had a love/hate relationship with this book. I liked the plot and the setting and all that we learn (mostly through Roarke) about the history of the place.
I disliked the characters, most especially Tisha - she behaves like a moody teenager, throwing tantrums even when Roarke goes out of his way to be nice to her (not that he doesn't have a few rude moments here and there).
The happy ending is pretty nice, but I have no idea how Roarke could be attracted to someone like Trisha, as she's pretty annoying most of the time...
