Title: Silver-tongued devil
First published: 1996
Description: The winding Mississippi weaves wicked tales while New Orleans has always been a place of good and evil, of humid nights, heavy passions, sinister greed and tricky affairs. Angelica Carew's romantic entanglements never seemed so tricky until the day death stared her in the face. It was none other than Renold Harden who saved her life but it was she who would save his soul. Feeling he was owed a little something for his good deed, Harden thought he'd take it all, all of Angelica, that is. He seemed to be everything she could possibly imagine in a man. He exuded heat and offered his heart, but it was her hand he demanded.  It all seemed too perfect and Angelica knew it. Love was her gift. Greed was his graft. For Renold, love had nothing to do with it. He was in it for the land. Angelica's dowry just happened to be Bonheur, the plantation stolen from his family by hers. Revenge was all his heart required; never did he think it would be this sweet. A lifetime of misery and sourness was to be his never-ending present for her.  Angelica was stronger than he could fathom; she was also smart enough to know her passion and her searing touch were the only things able to melt his cruel conniving heart. Would days of torture give way to nights of bliss? Only Jennifer Blake could tell you in such riveting steamy detail!
