Well done historical fiction, not too heavy on the romance, good detail. ( )

I first read this book in the late 90s, and I loved it. It was probably one of the first romance novels I read, and it still pops up in my mind every so often. I loved the setting of the book; I have a thing for historicals, and it was set in New Orleans. I think I might have to reread this one soon. ( )

Book description
Born in the backwater bayous of Louisiana, beautiful Dana O'Malley fled the squalid farm and heavy work that had killed her well-born mother. With the pride and intelligence that was her heritage, Dana soon achieved wealth, fame...and the avid attentions of four different men. Set against the glittering panorama of the nineteenth-century South, here is the story of an indomitable woman who would let no man stand between her and destiny, who would let nothing keep her from discovering the secret of her birth...
