From Publishers Weekly

The prose in Blake's latest (after Shameless) is rather like rococo art: complex, often lyrical and a tad grandiloquent. After an explosion destroys the riverboat on which she is traveling, Angelica Carew awakens to find herself supposedly wed to her rescuer, Renold Harden. Renold, she learns, is the stepson of Gerald Delaup, late owner of Bonheur, the Louisiana plantation her gambler father had won in a game of cards. Renold, convinced that Angelica's father had cheated to gain Bonheur, will go to any lengths to reclaim the land that rightfully belongs to his mother and half-sister-including force Angelica into a miserable marriage. While an enjoyable read, the characters come off as vapid and uninspired: Renold's hatred and vengeance falls flat, while Angelica, in her annoying blandness, justifies and accepts everything Renold does and says. Read this one for the rich texture and exquisite attention to antebellum detail.

"Blake's a master at romantic fiction."
--The Chattanooga Times -- Review

In a dishonest card game Gerald Delaup, Renold Harden's stepfather and the only man Renold ever respected loses his home to Edmund Carew. Unable to face the loss, Gerald commits suicide and Renold is left with bitterness and hatred toward Edmund. Vowing revenge, Renold sets his sights on the one thing that matters most to the gambler-- his beautiful daughter Angelica. With Bonheur, the plantation stolen from Gerald as Angelica's dowry, Renold is determined to get back what rightfully belongs to him and to destroy the man that destroyed his stepfather. If he can make Angelica love him more than she loves her father, Renold will have accomplished the greatest revenge of all. Edmund dotes on his daughter-- to lose her love would surely destroy him. But in his single minded plan, Renold doesn't take into account his own feelings for the angel who is his bride. From betrayal and hatred blossoms the beginnings of a passionate love between Renold and Angelica. Angelica is drawn to the mysterious stranger in a way she can't explain. Her stirs her senses in a way her fiance never has. But there's something not quite right with Renold's words of love and Angelica resists the attraction.
