Loramie Herndon had no idea what this particular lazy summer in a small Louisiana town held in store. House guest Morton Darnell, a man who had mysterious business dealings with her father, did offer Loramie a flirtatious diversion she half-heartedly enjoyed.
But then along came a stranger named Bill Fenner, and she fell hopelessly in love...against the wishes of her parents and Mr. Darnell, who made no secret of his own desire for her. What Loramie didn't realize was that she was soon to be brutally kidnapped as the pawn in a vicious struggle for money and power...a struggle she had no inkling was taking place until it was too late!
