Midnight Flame

When vengeful Tony Duvalier discovers a "Miss L. Delaney" was responsible for his uncle's death, the hot-tempered Cajun vows to make her pay. But he can't reconcile the emerald-eyed innocence of Laurel Delaney with his image of a cheap, scheming woman. Despite the way she sets his heart aflame, Tony is determined to humiliate the guilty femme fatale--even if it costs him once-in-a-lifetime love. Laurel's trouble making cousin, Lavinia, begs for her help in hiding from the Duvalier family, and the two leave New Orleans and travel in disguise. But when Laurel meets the very man she's deceiving, she's stunned by his arrogance, confidence and charm. She knows she should avoid Tony, but the moment this refined heiress feels his commanding embrace, she can't help but submit to their sensual, all consuming midnight flame.
