Riassunto

A successful jewelry designer, Yvette Broussard is content with her sort-of boyfriend and her peaceful life until her memories of her Louisiana childhood and the demands of her bride-to-be sister draw her into an obsession with her former lover, international movie star Andrew Madden, and force her to confront the past she had left behind. A first novel. 50,000 first printing.
