New Orleans — Sara Orwig

NEW ORLEANS...

the cotton kingdom's capital of splendor and sensuality on the eve of the Civil War, where great families ruled, beautiful women were revered, fortunes were made on the turn of a card, and lives were ended with the thrust of a dueling sword.

NEW ORLEANS...

where handsome, rugged Rafferty O'Brien came to snake his fortune with his raw strength and iron will...where elegant aristocrat Lazare Galliard reveled in the power of his birth and the passions of the flesh...and where exquisite, blue-blooded heiress Chantal Thierrie had to choose between a man who offered her everything she had ever wanted and a man who led her to ecstasy beyond her wildest dreams.

NEW ORLEANS...

the stormy, spellbinding saga set in the most romantic city in America, at a time when drama and passion set the world on tire.
