Received a Four Star “Rave Review” from the Romantic Times!
By Karen Jones Delk, author of THE BRIDE PRICE, comes a gripping tale of passion and love…
Simone Devereaux is the emerald-eyed hoyden of the Vieux Carré, mysterious queen of a steamboat empire, chateleine of a grand plantation.
Arrogant Marcel vows to have her, to destroy anyone who stands in his way–even Simone herself. Genteel Alain swears he’ll turn the spitfire into a lady, but instead, his passion makes a woman of her. Steamboat captain Tom, l’américain, offers Simone an unexpected refuge, an unprecedented partnership– and his heart.
Yet the beautiful Simone will belong to no one, unless he truly loves her for herself — and forever.
