When she becomes a murder suspect, a New Orleans beauty and lingerie tycoon must share her most deeply buried secrets with a disturbingly handsome district attorney in order to clear her name.

Like the city of New Orleans itself, Claire Laurent is a vibrant beauty laced with mystery. As the founder of French Silk, a fabulous lingerie company, she has fought hard to achieve worldwide success. Then a TV evangelist attacks French Silk’s erotic sleepwear as sinful. And when he is killed, Claire becomes the prime suspect.

District Attorney Robert Cassidy knows Claire is damning herself with lie after lie about the murder, even as he feels her drawing him into her world and her very soul. But neither Cassidy nor her protests of innocence can save Claire unless she reveals a shocking truth — one she has sworn to take to the grave .

BookList….
”Televangelist Jackson Wilde was on a national anti-smut crusade when someone shot him in his room at the New Orleans Fairmont Hotel. Was the murderer Reverend Wilde’s ambitious young second wife–or her stepson and lover, who preferred classical piano to the gospel hymns he had to play at Daddy’s services? Could one of the women at French Silk–the French Quarter lingerie firm whose “erotic fantasy” catalog was on Wilde’s porno hit list–have done it? Claire Laurent, the strong-willed owner-designer? Or partner and model Yasmine, devastated by a seesaw affair with a married U.S. congressman? Or Laurent’s mother Mary Catherine, in limited touch with reality for some 30 years? Guilt and ambition demand that assistant district attorney Robert Cassidy find and prosecute the killer, but his developing love for Laurent interferes. Regrettably, the promising First Amendment plot line fades early, shifting attention to fairly predictable questionings and couplings.”

Personal note—Her least interesting book, it doesn’t have her later smooth style.
