Belle Marie — Laura Ashton (1)

THEY CROSSED THE BOUNDARIES OF DESIRE TO EXPLORE THEIR OWN SECRET PASSIONS

The DuMontaignes were the cream of Louisiana society, rulers of a magnificent Creole dynasty, and owners of the beautiful plantation Belle Marie. Yet power and wealth led them to greater temptations --

...in the shameless parlors of New Orleans, where Lucian, the eldest son, squandered the family fortune for his own reckless pleasure.

...in the political battles of Paul DuMontaigne, the family patriarch, whose wife unleashed her true desires in the bedroom of his fiercest rival.

...in the arms of a dazzling Cajun beauty, who offered young Denis DuMontaigne the ecstasies of forbidden fruit -- and the agonies of scandal.

...and in the bitter rivalries of the DuMontaigne daughters, whose passions for the same man were about to explode.

BELLE MARIE

A tempestuous saga of a proud family who defied the rules of love -- and embraced their heart's wildest desires.
