From 1683 to 1803 ~ From the corrupt courts of Versailles to the windswept tracks of Montreal ~ From the sea-washed coasts of Nova Scotia to the searing deserts of Algiers ~ And from the lush marshes of Louisiana ~
The proud, aristocratic du Plessis lived, loved, and fought to reclaim what was theirs.
There was Damien, who claimed the unattainable Hรจlรฉne as his wife and took a nun as his mistress. There was Natalie, who escaped the horrors of Parisโs La Salpรฉtriรจre prison to flee to the colony of New Orleans as a proxy bride selected by the handsome, mysterious half breed . . . There was Nicolas, whose dark secret shadowed the only love he had ever known ~ for his half-brotherโs wife . . . There was Reinette, Natalieโs daughter, raised wild in the bayous outside New Orleans, who gave her heart to an outcast and her body to her handsome captor . . . and there was Daniel, Reinetteโs son, who thirsted for vengeance and took his enemyโs daughter as hostage.
