Description

**Here is Frank Yerby's bestselling novel, set in Civil War New Orleans and on the perilous seas of the great Southern blockade runners.** Regardless of his Southern upbringing, **Tyler Meredith is NO GENTLEMAN!!!** Whispers followed the powerful figure of Tyler Meredith, as he strode through **New Orleans in the spring of 1861.** This strong and ruthless man mocked southern chivalry, did not care which side won the war, and laughed at the nation of the sacred purity of southern womanhood. **For Tyler Meredith, war was for the making of profits, and women were for the taking of pleasure.** Though men hated him, they could not defeat him--and though women scorned him, they could not resist him . . . not even the proud beauty who was wife to his best friend....

Description

Women loved him. The Yankees feared him. His men worshipped him. With icy courage, he took his slim, fast, mist-colored ships under the guns of the Yankee fleet, carrying medicines and guns for the Confederacy. He had a fortune in bullion in England, a lovely woman in every port he touched. But the only woman he had ever loved belonged to another man.
