Winds of Betrayal
After the fall of Fort Sumter, Victorine LaGrande is brought home to New Orleans from boarding school, and while she misses her friends Elizabeth and Rosamund, she is glad to be home in the French Quarter. She is more than happy to meet the man that her father has picked for her to marry, Andre Valmont, the son of another family her family knows. He's smart, handsome, charming and he showers Victorine with lots of attention. While Victorine likes Andre and enjoys his attention, she starts to have doubts of his faithfulness when she sees him with another woman on his arm, and she meets another man, an American, Dr. Bret Whitman who makes her feel like she never has with Andre.

But who is this woman and what does she mean to Andre? And what of Dr. Whitman, will Victorine do as her father wishes or risk herself in something new?
