Query: Great historical romance

This rewrite of an older story is a vast improvement. It has a rich flavor of New Orleans under American protectorship and of the Creole culture. The heroine has spunk and is intelligent as well as tactful. The hero is a powerful man who loves his family and has been thought a murderer for years. Behind the scenes currents and betrayal echo throughout. The writing is done with a sense of humor as well. Great book.
