Blue Bayou — Parris Afton Bonds

The du Plessis--their blood, their pride, their passion tamed the wilderness that was Louisiana

They were a proud, aristocratic family--the flower of France. Until a powerful nobleman sought to destroy them, and they were forced to flee for their lives to an unknown, uncharted new world...

There was Natalie, a pampered child bride, unjustly branded a wanton, who escaped the horrors of prison to find sanctuary in the arms of a handsome, mysterious half-breed ...Nicolas, whose dark secret shadowed the only love he had ever known--for his half-brother's wife ...Reinette, Natalie's daughter, raised wild in the bayou outside New Orleans, who gave her heart to an outcast ...Daniel, Reinette's son, who thirsted for vengeance against the destroyers of his family.

From the windswept tracks of Canada to the searing deserts of Morocco, the du Plessis lived, loved, and fought to reclaim the land that became their birthright.
