" Lilting prose and glorious description. Jennifer Blake weaves a magnificent tale." -RT Book Reviews She has no idea what to expect... In the aristocratic world of the magnificent plantations of nineteenth-century Louisiana, young Amalie knows how to behave as the new mistress at Belle Grove, but her arranged marriage to Julien Declouet is full of surprises. He's as different as night and day... Amalie finds her husband perfectly polite, although oddly aloof, by day, but a completely different man when he visits her in her chambers at night, full of white-hot emotions and passion that sweeps her away. As the steamy Louisiana summer swelters onward, and the mystery of her husband's dual personalities intensifies, the once-innocent Amalie finds herself embroiled in one turbulent scandal after another... Praise for Jennifer Blake: " Blake's style is as steamy as a still July night on the bayou, as overwhelming as hot Cajun spice." -Chicago Tribune " High-energy, compelling stories rife with steamy Southern atmosphere." -Library Journal
