Book Overview
For the sake of her nephew, Elizabeth has assumed the identity of her deadsister Ellen Marie. She arrives at the grand Louisiana plantation of Ellen Marie's late husband, wearing the traditional black widow's weeds and carrying her infant nephew, Joseph. She is determined that the boy will reach maturity and inherit his rightful fortune. Luckily, the familyat Oak Shade does not suspect that they are harboring an imposter in theirmidst. However, they are less than welcoming, treating her with frosty politeness. More disturbing are the unusual accidents that seem to be following in her wake, as if planned for her. And now, the dark creole Bernard Delacroix seems to be seeing through her assumed persona, right into her soul. What he also sees is that the "widow" is desperate for his attentions.

A Good Read
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
This story is merely good, unlike Patricia Maxwell's other book, Bride of a Stranger, which was excellent. The author most definitely has writing about the sultry, spooky bayou down pat. The romance in this story was a little strained, but did work out in the end. Over all, a good read.
