Lysette Kersaint flees an unwanted marriage and seeks protection from Maximilien Vallerand, a powerful widower whose household is marked by grief and suspicion. Their marriage begins as refuge and strategy, but attraction forces both to confront secrets surrounding the Vallerand family and the danger gathering around them.
First published as Only in Your Arms, the novel places a Gothic-tinged romance in Louisiana during the era of Spanish imperial rule and competing Atlantic interests. Plantation wealth, Creole society, family honour and the legal vulnerability of women shape the fictional conflict.
