Betrayal — Gwen Hunter

"My name is Nicolette Dazincourt DeLande, and I have committed murder. . . ." So begins this spellbinding novel, the passionate story of a young girl's marriage into a Louisiana family so monstrous that only an extraordinary woman could escape from it alive.

BETRAYAL is set in an exotic, violent world where storms crash in from the Gulf, where crushing vines of wisteria are drenched with pungent lavender, where gators growl by night in brackish waters full of secrets. A suspense-filled tour de force about a woman who defies a threat honored through the generations. The first novel in the DeLande Saga.
