Elise wass sure all men were brutes-until she met Reynaud Chavalier...A widow at 25, beautiful Elise Laffont had been married to a beast of a man who left her with a strong aversion to sex. She was quite content to manage her small Louisiana farm alone, until the Natchez uprising forced her to flee. To secure safe passage for herself and her neighbors out of Nachez territory, Elise had to agree to be the mistress of Reynaud Chavalier, the son of a Frnech nobleman and a Natchez princess. Frightened beyond measure of this magnificent but menacing man, Elise was unprepared for the gentleness, the exquisite sensuousness, the unbelievable patience he showed until she was finally awakened to the ecstasies of his touch. She never imagined she would begin to crave his lovemaking...
