Product Description

From Library Journal

Celine Winters escapes suspicion of a murder she has not committed by exchanging places with another young woman desperate to avoid marriage to Cord Moreau, whose cruel Creole grandfather is making him marry her in the place of his dead cousin Alex. Too late Celine finds herself married and on a ship leaving New Orleans en route to the West Indies, Cord's happy childhood home. Landis (After All, Jove, 1995) fashions an interesting blend of Creole social history, the tropics, and false identities revealed in the collision of past and present lives. Cord's alcoholic melancholia certainly places him in the wounded hero gallery, but his failings are more than offset by Celine's resourcefulness and the hilarious scheming of his two male servants.-MKC

First Sentence
It was late afternoon in the brick, market building as Celine Winters moved amid the other shoppers-Creole aristocrats, slaves and common folk like herself-crowded together in the compact stalls. Read the first page

5.0 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT -- #1 OF 3 BOOKS Mar 17 2002
By M. Hartmann
Format:Mass Market Paperback
EXCELLENT -- get all three books -- you won't be sorry.
Cord Moreau was to have attended his cousin, Alex's wedding -- now he is dead. And Henry Moreau, their grandfather, intended to make Cord pay.

Cord was to be married to the daughter of Thomas O'Hurley to fulfill Henry's contract. Alex would have, as Henry's heir, even though he loved Juliett and their children.
You will meet also, two distant cousins, twins, Stephen and Anton Caldwell who were barely eighteen.

Collin Ray was a trouble maker and afraid of Persa, who according to rumor had the gift of second sight.

Cordero took Celine to the plantation, Dunstain Place, where his Aunt Ada lived. More secrets to be uncovered.

It just gets better and better -- you won't be able to put this set down. The characters just pull you through the stories and you don't want them to end.
Definitely recommended and keepers all.

5.0 out of 5 stars Become a Day Dreamer. . . July 18 2001
By Nicole
Format:Mass Market Paperback
It isn't an everyday occurrence. You know what I mean. When you pick up a book, not expecting anything out of the ordinary and then you find out that you couldn't have been more wrong. Day Dreamer is definitely one of those books. At the beginning it seemed, to me, like Cord was a really rude, arrogant man, but as the story wears on you see that Cord isn't that way at all. He just hides his pain and suffering beneath the mask of hostility. Trying to shield his new wife from what remains of his bruised and battered heart. My heart ached when I read about how much Cord has suffered in his short life time. I couldn't help, but feel like his heart would never heal, not even with Celine by his side. Both have suffered so much pain in their lives, but they find in each other, a reason to live again, laugh again, and love for the first time.

Personally I don't feel like running from the law is the smart choice, but in Celine's case I couldn't help but cheer her on. Even if she would've waited for the police it wouldn't have mattered. They wouldn't have believed her side of the story. So, for her running was the only choice. But as you find out, you can't run from your past or hide from the future. The past eventually catches up with you. You'll hold your breath during the last sixty pages, but the ending will bring a smile to your face.

By Richard C. Harb

This was my first Jill Marie Landis book and I am thrilled to have found this author! I love Celine and Cord, I hated to see this one come to an end. No wimpy whiney heroine here, and Cord is a Stud! You will love this book!
