Creole fires - Kat Martin

The Louisiana sun beat mercilessly on Nicole St. Claire just as fate, too, had been
merciless. The once wealthy, flirtatious belle stood on the auction block to be sold
as a servant. Her sensual figure disguised, her glorious titian hair disheveled,
she looked like a waif, but she was all woman, trembling when she recognized the
highest bidder-idol of her childhood dreams, the owner of plantation Belle Chene.

A man of blazing passion, Alex du Villier bought the girl out of pity, but her aqua
eyes stirred his soul and her body ignited his blood. She would be the perfect mistress
to make him forget his coming marriage to a cold, haughty heiress. Now he intended
to teach this innocent beauty that although he had purchased her freedom, he could
steal her heart.

An affair of burning desires. . . . Under a Creole moon their passion
became a wildfire neither could control, driving them to heart-wrenching choices
of silken sin . . . or freedom and love.
