As soon as Diana Montaigne meets the new overseer, Tanner, at Briarhaven, things become steamy and stormy at this South Carolina plantation. SAVAGE DECEPTION sweeps readers back to moss-draped oaks, breezy verandahs, and passion-filled Southern days and nights. Ms. Vinet, a native of Louisiana, like novelist Jennifer Blake, really knows how to weave a wonderful tale of romance in the Old South.
