Sus compañeros la llaman "La Femme Au Naturel", la Chica de la Naturaleza, porque parece más interesada en navegar por los canales que en el romance. Sin embargo, Gabriel alberga sueños secretos. Días antes de su graduación, el rico propietario de una conservera, Octavious Tate, la sorprende en un estanque aislado y destruye su inocencia. Embarazada y desolada, deseando evitar el escándalo para su madre, Gabriel acepta un plan impactante que permitirá a la fría esposa de Octavious, Gladys, reclamar al bebé como suyo, mientras que su furioso padre obtendrá una gran compensación. Escondida en un pequeño cuarto de juegos abandonado en la mansión Tate, Gabriel es miserable. Su única visitante es su madre, cuya misión como Traiteur, una curandera cajún, le permite tratar la "embarazo" de Gladys.

Con el creciente prestigio de Jack Landry como guía del pantano, un grupo de caza trae al atractivo millonario criollo Pierre Dumas al bayou.

      In the wake of a terrible loss, Rain is left alone to bear the Hudson family secrets — as dark and forbidding as storm clouds on the horizon... After the death of her beloved Grandmother Hudson, Rain found herself caught in a battle for the vast Hudson family wealth. Marked to inherit millions, Rain faced the fury of her unaccepting mother, her manipulative stepfather, and her cold, vicious Aunt Victoria. But no amount of money can keep Rain's world from crashing down when sudden tragedy strikes. Left helpless after a devastating blow, Rain sinks into despair as her precious dreams are washed away - dreams that cannot be bought with the Hudson fortune. Her only hope for rebuilding her life rests in trusting a stranger who has come into her world — a man whose generosity and kindness does not appear to come with strings attached, much to Rain's amazement. But just as she opens her heart to a promising new future, her past comes back to haunt her — and Rain is pulled into a furious whirlpool of bitterness and heartache.

She is older and wiser, and always telling Semantha what to do, what to wear, and how to behave around those wicked boys at school. Semantha has her eye on one special guy -- but Cassie has other plans for her. In the Heavenstone house, big sister knows best....and there's no escape. Then tragedy strikes like a lightning bolt from heaven, and Semantha's life becomes a living hell. Under Cassie's constant, watchful eye, she feels like a prisoner -- a helpless pawn in her sister's cruel game. When Cassie begins wearing their mother's clothes and vying for their dad's affections, Semantha realizes she must bring their twisted sibling rivalry to an end...before a new generation is born.

A douze ans, Rebecca ne peut vivre seule et est recueillie par son oncle et sa tante. L'oncle Reuben est un homme injuste et violent, qui la traite comme une domestique et n'hésite pas à la frapper. Certes, la tante Clara est une brave femme, mais trop terrorisée par son mari pour prendre la défense de Rebecca. Quant à Jennifer - sa cousine, d'un an son aînée -, c'est une vraie peste. Finalement, cette "vie de famille" est un enfer qui ne vaut guère mieux que l'orphelinat. Le jour où son professeur de gymnastique découvre par hasard les marques qu'elle porte sur le corps, Rebecca ose enfin parler. Le tribunal pour enfants décide alors de la placer dans une maison d'accueil. Où elle fait la connaissance de Janet, de Crystal et de Brenda, dont la vie jusqu'à présent n'a pas été plus drôle que la sienne.
