Bayou Girl

By John Thompson

They came to the Louisiana bayou looking for peace. What they found was desire.

Rollins Cartwright brings his daughter Lissa south to escape the city, but the close, humid world they enter strips away restraint instead. In a tight Acadian community where privacy is rare, attraction flares quickly and sexual curiosity refuses to stay hidden. Lissa draws attention she neither invites nor avoids. Men want her. Women judge her. Ferd Tregre's rigid ideas about love clash with her hunger for experience, turning rejection into obsession. Affairs ignite. Emotions turn raw. In the bayou, sex is never casual and refusal has consequences.

Bayou Girl is a hot, provocative novel about sensual awakening, possessive love, and the trouble that follows when desire takes control.

This book was originally released, nearly 70 years ago, as Garden of Love and then re-released as Bayou Girl in paperback
