description: For the sake of her infant nephew Elizabeth has assumed the identity of her dead sister Ellen Marie. She arrives at the grand Louisiana plantation of Ellen Marie's late husband wearing traditional black widow's weeds and carrying the baby -- determined that the boy will reach maturity and inherit his rightful fortune... The family at Oak Shade doesn't suspect they're harboring an imposter; still they treat her with only frosty politeness. More disturbing are the unusual accidents that seem to be following in her wake as if planned for her. And now the dark Creole Bernard Delacroix seems to be seeing through her assumed persona right into her soul -- where passion and desire war with her widow's dark masquerade.
