Blue Moon Bayou
Compton, Katherine
A ROGUE'S PASSION

Spirited and lovely Delia Abernathy cherishes her independence--and resents her grandmother's insistence that she marry before inheriting the family wealth. To soften her guardian's firm resolve, the resourceful Louisiana heiress sets out in search of the most unsuitable fiance possible --and finds Cord Kibedeaux, an enigmatic and shockingly handsome Cajun ex-convict.

Seeing a golden opportunity to clear his unjustly tarnished name, Cord agrees to the sham betrothal--never dreaming that circumstance would force him into actual matrimony with the arrogant, pampered belle. But in the soft moonlight of Blue Moon Bayou, a very different Delia is revealed to him--a warm and sensuous enchantress who stirs Cord's desires as no woman has before...and tempts him to bare his guarded heart to the rapturous ecstasy of everlasting love.
