Simone d'Or - a golden-haired beauty with a prideful mind and fiery temper, attracts only trouble in 19th century New Orleans. Men are willing to duel to the death for the privilege of marrying her. Her drunken brother's moral meandering requires her interference. Her own arrogance blinds her to a friend's most compelling need. Simone must soon face the guilt of a suitor's blood, the disappearance of her wayward brother, and the personal pain caused by her haughty spirit.
Once again, a wholesome comfort read, but a little disappointed it didn't focus on the main character as much as the first and last books of this series.
