      He has never found the right woman...until now

      Craig Lawson is the hottest filmmaker in Hollywood—a man who has won every award and can have any woman he wants. Now he’s ready to produce his masterpiece. But it means returning to his Louisiana roots and the real estate dynasty he walked away from almost a decade ago. In the French Quarter, he finds a historic house that is perfect for his project...and the unconventional owner is a beauty of fascinating contradictions.

      Jewel Fontaine had her reasons for disappearing from the local art scene five years ago. And this reclusive sculptress isn’t about to let the famous playboy director turn his cameras on her private life. Until he awakens her hidden desires. If she gives in to his passion, will he uncover the secret she’s been so desperately hiding? Or will Craig’s own unresolved issues from the past sabotage any chance for a happy future together?

      They stood facing each other, inches apart, on her front porch. Jewel’s heart thumped. “I’m glad I went.”

      “Are you?” His brows tightened as he took a step closer, forcing her to look up.

      Her throat worked frantically. “Very.”

      “That’s good to know because I want to do it again.”

      Jewel swallowed. “Lunch?”

      “Dinner...and then breakfast.”

      The implication was clear. Heat flashed through her limbs.

      “How does that sound?”

      Her head swam. “It sounds...”

      Before she could form the words, he’d slid his arm around her waist and pulled her flush against the hard lines of his body, and then the world disappeared as his head came down and those lips that she had fantasized kissing covered hers. The kiss was electric, slow and sweet. She couldn’t think over the hum that vibrated deep in his throat as he deepened their kiss, teasing her mouth with a swipe of his tongue. Her entire body vibrated and felt weak all at once. Her fingers held on to the tight ropes of his arms, and all she could piece together in her head was that she didn’t want it to end.

      Whether you are a returning or newly inducted fan of The Lawsons of Louisiana series, let me introduce you to another member of the family—Craig Lawson. With all of my Lawson family members, I want to bring my readers not only a great love story but also a story that touches readers, with characters that you will grow to love and root for as I have.

      Freed from the reins of his powerful father, Craig Lawson has built his own legacy, but it has left him with a hole in his heart. A hole that is filled by artist Jewel Fontaine. Although she has her own demons to deal with, Craig offers her a new beginning. Of course, their journey won’t be an easy one.

      At the center of all of the Lawson tales is the importance and resilience of family. I hope that you will welcome the newest members into your family of characters that help you believe in the power of love and its limitless possibilities.

      I want to thank each and every one of my readers for your continued love and support throughout my years of writing.

      Sit back, relax and enjoy!

      Until next time,

      Donna Hill
