Winds of the Storm
I like this story. It is a perfect sequal to Ms. Jenkins other story Through the Storm. I can't wait to read more about the rest of the Le Veq brothers. I like that after her stories Ms. Jenkins provides more background information that add to the history lesson she gives, to me that just adds more credence to the story. The only thing I'm sorry about is the loss of one of the family members, however it little detail makes the story more real and human. Anyone who thinks that slaves just got rescued by the Union soliders will get a real eye opening reading any of Ms. Jenkins books. She goes the extra mile and showing the contributions that Blacks have made in making American what it is today.
Archer Le Veq owes his life to the woman who rescued him from certain death at the height of the Civil War. . . a woman known only as "the Butterfly." Now, in the dark, waning days of Reconstruction, he needs the courageous and beautiful former spy. . . in more ways than before!
Zahra Lafayette thinks her days of intrigue are far behind her, until she is asked to go on one more mission. Posing as an infamous madam in New Orleans, Zahra must gather information to ensure the safety of the South's freedmen. The last thing she expected was to see Archer Le Veq again. He is as arrogant as he is handsome, but there is something about this dusky and debonair hotelier that sends her senses singing. Zahra knows she will need to guard her secrets, but no peril awaiting her compares with the treachery of Zahra's own heart--for, Lord help her, she burns to taste the man and to lose herself in his powerful embrace.
