Winds of the Storm

It's all Beverly Jenkins' fault. Who told her to write the most captivating historical romance novels!? Her characters draw you in with their strength and perserverance at a time when the United States were at odds with each other. She enlightens you to the struggles of the race and the accomplishments made to reach the state we are at today. Further more, who can help being intrigued by a handsome, debonair, sophisticated man and a equally matched heroine, whose affairs with each other are often hot and s-t-e-a-m-y.

Winds of the Storm is the latest novel from Beverly Jenkins. Here is the excerpt from Amazon:

Archer Le Veq owes his life to the woman who rescued him from certain death at the height of the Civil War...a woman known only as "the Butterfly." Now, in the dark, waning days of Reconstruction, he needs the courageous and beautiful former spy...in more ways than before!

Zahra Lafayette thinks her days of intrigue are far behind her, until she is asked to go on one more mission. Posing as an infamous madam in New Orleans, Zahra must gather information to ensure the safety of the South's freedmen. The last thing she expected was to see Archer Le Veq again. He is as arrogant as he is handsome, but there is something about this dusky and debonair hotelier that sends her senses singing. Zahra knows she will need to guard her secrets, but no peril awaiting her compares with the treachery of Zahra's own heart -- for, Lord help her, she burns to taste the man and to lose herself in his powerful embrace.

Whew Chile! Can you resist?!? The best thing is her novels are intertwined. So, if you need to add some books to your summer reading list, start with Indigo then move onto Through the Storm and follow up with Winds of the Storm. However, I must caution you, you will get ABSOLUTELY no knitting done.
