Tony Duvalier, a rancher, is after a woman who he believes murdered his uncle.  Laurel Delaney, an orphaned heiress, is traveling with her cousin, Lavinia.  Lavinia believes someone is after her because her older beau died while they were together.  Laurel decides to hide Lavinia’s identity, and is approached by Tony.  Tony is bewitched by Laurel, and decides to kidnap her to find the truth.  But, when the truth comes out, will Tony lose his heart?  Or will Laurel save him from an inconvenient marriage?  I loved this historical romantic tale.  It had great suspense without the gratuitous sex scenes.  The setting was deliciously described.  It made me feel like I was in New Orleans one minute, and Texas the next.  I got a little frustrated over Laurel’s inability to see anything good in Tony.  At times, I thought she was too self-absorbed.
