The Perfect Touch
She couldn't take it anymore! After years of being a	devoted high school art teacher, Noelle Clayton walked out never to return. Now, ten years later, she was right back where she'd started from. In New Orleans. In Philippe Merritt's arms.

He'd returned from Vietnam to succeed in his family's business. They'd both failed at marriage. Noelle had failed at teaching too. Not failed, burned out; he insisted. "Now do what you really want to do." But what was that? Marry Philippe? He was a sophisticate; she, a free spirit. She adored children. He couldn't even handle his own eight-year-old daughter. Somewhere, Noelle knew, there had to be a perfect solution; but was it obstinate, demanding Philippe, who infuriated her even as he called her his "Cajun baby" and seduced her with his perfect touch?
