Böcker av Kathleen Bittner Roth

For fans of Rosemary Rogers, a sweeping New Orleans romance of wild passion, dark secrets and forbidden love . . . Returning home to his beloved New Orleans after months in Jamaica, Bastien Thibodeaux reluctantly agrees to take two passengers on board his ship-an older English gentleman tending his ailing younger wife, Lily. That's their story, at least. But as Bastien uses his skills as a Cajun healer to help Lily, he becomes convinced of two things: She is not who she claims to be. And though she may be out of bounds for the illegitimate son of a bayou priestess, their attraction is decidedly mutual. When Lily's father bequeathed her his entire estate, he unwittingly made her a target. She barely escaped England alive, aided by her godfather. New Orleans holds both temptation and danger as she convalesces in Bastien's lavish residence. A single night together is all she dares allow. But once they succumb, there can be no denying this desire, or how much they'll risk in its name . . . "Roth brings the heat of New Orleans right through the pages in both the romantic chemistry and appealing descriptions of the area." -Booklist
