Celia Lane

The Creole Bride and Her Louisiana Gentleman Celia Lane

Adele Bajoliere was only ten years old when she and her family fled the violence of the Haitian Revolution. Their sojourn took them across the Caribbean, from South Carolina to Jamaica to New Orleans. Adele, struggling with all the fears of the exile, isn't sure what to make of a handsome young man clad in buckskin named Wilder, whom she meets in the streets of the dusty, primitive settlement of New Orleans. But when her struggle to help a man injured almost to the point of death brings her and Wilder together, Adele must learn what it means to finally cast off fear.
