Claire de Hauterive is all set to marry her cousin until a scar-faced, yet still attractive stranger, Justin Leroux, blackmails her into marrying him.  At Sans Songe, his plantation near the bayou outside of New Orleans, a suspicious accident leaves behind death before Claire even enters the house for the first time.  Among the deep, dark forest snakes, alligators, prowling panthers and other predators, both human and animal, surround Claire.  Who can she trust?Shocking family secrets lurk behind each bedroom door at Sans Songe. While forbidden loves, old and new, linger inside the house, outside a powerful voodoo priestess and a jealous mistress of Justin's vow revenge. Yet, someone else harbors even stronger hate while deceiving the new BRIDE OF A STRANGER.Characters in this classic gothic romance are interesting and unique, their motivations strong, their passions entwined in a riveting plot of mysterious magic, love, hate and intrigue.  Jennifer Blake's classic gothic, BRIDE OF A STRANGER, is masterfully written and kept me guessing clear to the end who the devious villain is. I hated to leave Sans Songe when I came to the last page.
