The Ninth Orphan (37 page)

By the mid-1800's, Fiji has become a melting pot of cannibals, warring native tribes, sailors, traders, prostitutes, escaped convicts and all manner of foreign undesirables. It's in this hostile environment an innocent young Englishwoman and a worldly American adventurer find themselves.

Susannah Drake, a missionary, questions her calling to spread God

s Word as she

s torn between her spiritual and sexual selves. As her forbidden desires intensify, she turns to the scriptures and
prayer
to quash the sinful thoughts

without success.

Nathan Johnson arrives to trade muskets to the Fijians and
immediately
finds himself at odds with Susannah. She despises him for introducing the white man

s weapons to the very people she is trying to convert and he pities her for her naivety. Despite their
differences
, there

s an undeniable chemistry between them.

When their lives are suddenly endangered by marauding
cannibals, Susannah and Nathan are forced to rely on each other for their very survival.
