The Pride of St. Charles Avenue — Carole Halston

To lonely little rich girl Olivia Prescott, the servants' son, Reeves Talbot, had been the one true treasure in her opulent New Orleans household. But ambitious Reeves had had a chip on his shoulder the size of the St. Charles Avenue mansion -- and an ironclad restraint toward its innocently adoring princess.

But now, years later, the mighty Prescotts had fallen, and Reeves Talbot himself occupied their once-proud palace. And he was ready to do more than admire Olivia from afar....

Long had she loved Reeves. She loved him still. But if she surrendered to his conquering touch, would he cherish the tender prize of her passion...or merely flaunt it as his final trophy?
