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.Blake, Jennifer is the author of 'Dark Masquerade' with ISBN 9780727840394 and ISBN 0727840398.
