The sultry allure of New Orleans comes to dazzling life in
this enthralling tale of passion and mystery that sweeps
from the modern heart of the Big Easy back to the
shimmering city of a century past. Reporter Corlis
McCullough's passion for the truth has cost her more jobs

historical preservationist King Duvallon, an adversary
from her college years. After a decade, he still manages
to incite her fury--and worse: a growing attraction as
strong and unstoppable as the tides along the Delta. But
as Corlis is swept one hundred fifty years into the past,
she witnesses the yearning desires and daring passions of
a drama that will be replayed nearly two centuries
later. . . .
