It didn't take much for Erikka Rochon's charmed Big Easy life to hit rock bottom: a car accident, a scandal -- and suddenly she's gone from climbing the corporate ladder to being driven out of town. Ordered to take some time off, an always-on-the-go sister now has nowhere to go, except back home to the bayou to slow down and figure out why a smart, beautiful, professional lady who always had time to party never found time for happiness.

Aunt Darlene's house was Erikka's safe haven in childhood, filled with good aromas and feelings, and a much-needed mixture of tenderness and tough love. But a good woman who lost her way needs something more to chase her demons and her blues -- and it might just be Gabriel Cormier, the tall, quiet son of Loreauville's most prominent family, a man with a past more notorious than hers.
