Creole Fires

In 1860s Louisiana, Nicole St. Claire, once a wealthy Southern belle, is forced onto an auction block and sold into servitude after her family loses its fortune. Alex du Villier, the owner of the Belle Chene plantation and a man from her past, purchases her. Their reunion ignites a passionate and contentious relationship as Nicole struggles with loss, pride, and her changing place in postwar Southern society.
