Description:
**Here is Frank Yerby's bestselling novel, set in Civil War New Orleans and on the perilous seas of the great Southern blockade runners.** Regardless of his Southern upbringing, **Tyler Meredith is NO GENTLEMAN!!!** Whispers followed the powerful figure of Tyler Meredith, as he strode through **New Orleans in the spring of 1861.** This strong and ruthless man mocked southern chivalry, did not care which side won the war, and laughed at the nation of the sacred purity of southern womanhood. **For Tyler Meredith, war was for the making of profits, and women were for the taking of pleasure.** Though men hated him, they could not defeat him--and though women scorned him, they could not resist him . . . not even the proud beauty who was wife to his best friend....
