Family, loyalty, love, sex and revenge steam up the pages in this sometimes frustrating but
ultimately satisfying romance set in present-day Alabama Bestselling author Howard (After the Night)
portrays orphan Roanna Davenport, born into a wealthy and aristocratic family An awkward child,
headstrong and generally disliked by her haughty relatives, she is championed by her older cousin Webb
Tallant, with whom she falls in love But he marries another cousin, the beautiful, heartless Jessie
When Jessie is murdered, Webb leaves the ancestral home for 10 years until the family's dying matriarch
summons him back, reawakening old passions and reopening old wounds Unnecessary bouts of crude sex
between minor characters may put off some readers, and a good shaking seems in order for both Roanna
and Webb, as they misinterpret each other's actions to excess Howard does manage, however, to maintain
tension through a twist-filled plot and the emotional involvement of the main characters
