Fierce Eden (Paperback)

From the Publisher: A reader favorite from New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Blake, available after over 5 years Fierce Eden features the steamy historical settings of Louisiana in the 19th century, where sultry nights and spicy flavors led to untamed passions and licentious liberties. Young and beautiful widow Elise Laffont's abusive husband taught her to hate men and sex. She's happiest alone on her small farm until a Natchez Indian uprising forces her to flee. Reynaud Chavalier, son of a French nobleman and a Natchez princess offers Elise and her neighbors safe passage, if Elise will become his mistress. What begins as the supreme sacrifice becomes the ultimate pleasure as Reynaud's sensuous touch awakens Elise to unimaginable ecstasy and love. Praise for Jennifer Blake: "Blake's style is as steamy as a still July night on the bayou, as overwhelmingly hot as Cajun spice." -Chicago Tribune
