With 2 meetings she’s married to a man she barely knows, Julien, and becoming lady of the plantation. Unexpectedly, Amalie gets news of a possible arranged marriage and it takes place quickly. By the time she emerged from years of mourning she was 24 and considered a spinster with little hopes of gaining a husband. Amalie hasn't had a lucky life as she lost her parents and then a fiancée, one right after another.
Amalie is good to them and the only violence to a slave in the story is stopped by Amalie but if reading about plantation owners having slaves will bother you then you wont want to read this book. **Warning** This story takes place on a plantation in Louisiana in the 1800s and there are slaves in the story. The descriptions are past the floweriness of bodice rippers but not quite to the point of modern erotica that blatantly names everything. The love scenes seemed a bit more descriptive than I expected. This story was written back in 1984 and you can tell it by the writing a bit but it’s not as cheesy as some of the stories of this time (Not that I'm an expert on books from the '80s). This is the first book I've read by this author and based off this, I might try more of her work in the future. I liked both Robert and Amalie and enjoyed their story.
