description: A REBEL'S LOVE
  
  Tired of being pursued by shallow suitors in London, Anne Weston longs to find a virile, self-made man in New Orleans. Instead she meets Lucien Delacroix, the handsome ne'er-do-well son of a wealthy plantation owner, a charming dilettante who pays more attention to the cut of his coat than to the running of his estate. Yet Anne can't help feeling that there's more to him than meets the eye, especially since Lucien reminds her of the dark and daring stranger who one night pulled her into the shadows and recklessly kissed her...just after she had watched him help a family of slaves escape. Spellbound by the rogue's sensuality and enamored of his brave but illegal deed, she is drawn into his dangerous masquerade...and the fulfillment of love's most passionate dream.
