She was certain all men were beasts--until she met the half-breed gentleman...

The prospect of intimacy with this magnificent yet dangerous man strikes fear into her heart. She is stunned, then, by his consideration and exquisite sensuality as he instructs her in the joys of love. Yet events around them grow ever more perilous. When Reynaud is condemned as a traitor, Elise must decide whether she will let him hang or ensure that he is held personally accountable for the desires he has awakened….

Midnight Waltz (reissue)
Who was this man who came to her in the dark of the moon...
Amalie’s arranged marriage that made her Julien Declouet’s bride and mistress of his magnificent Louisiana plantation is not what she expected. By day, her new husband is polite but strangely aloof and far from romantic. Yet when he comes to her in the dark of midnight, he is passionate and tender, almost a different man...
Troubled by the contrast, confused by white-hot emotions that alter between daylight and dark, Amalie learns to be mistress of Belle Grove. She is aided by her strong-willed mother-in-law, who requires an heir at any price, and her husband’s dynamic cousin Robert who is enough like him to be his twin. And her doubts increase with the summer heat. As hurricane winds begin to stir, the mystery gains in strength, becoming a storm that could destroy them all.
