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.
