Just Once
by Jill Marie Landis
Jemma O'Hurley, a spoiled New Orleans debutante
of 1816 who, rather than marry the man her father has chosen for her,
chooses to run away one dark and stormy night. She prays for a way out
and fate brings her in contact with a young woman running for her life
who is more than willing to step into Jemma's shoes. Alone on the
dangerous streets of New Orleans, Jemma is soon spotted by Hunter Boone,
a backwoodsman from Illinois who takes her up the Mississippi where she
not only has to cope with Hunter but his hardscrabble life on the
frontier and the cast of hard working, kindhearted characters she meets. Adventure, humor and passionate "old school" historical romance fill
the pages of JUST ONCE.
