Rose — Cherie Claire

Amid the untamed forests and moss-strewn swamps of Louisiana Territory, the daughters of an Acadian exile discover danger...and desire.

HEARTS DIVIDED
Warm, vibrant, and exceedingly lovely, Rose Gallant vowed to keep alive her family's dreams of finding their long-lost father. But her own dreams of love were proving harder to sustain, for the man she yearned for was the one she could not have. Tender, passionate, and darkly handsome, Coleman Thorpe was also English and Protestant, and so their union was forbidden. Rose wondered if she should settle for marriage to a rich Creole who vowed to help her family -- until she learned how determined Coleman was to forge a future they could cherish together.
