USA Today best-selling author Beverly Jenkins heads to New
Orleans in a new series that follows northern African American women living in
the South in the chaotic aftermath of the Civil War. In her latest novel "Rebel," part of the series "Women Who Dare," Valinda Lacey teaches the newly emancipated people of New Orleans only to face thugs wanting to destroy her school — and her.
Captain Drake Leveq, an architect from an old New Orleans family, wishes to help rebuild the city. He admires Lacey’s determination. When Lacey’s father demands she return home to marry a man she doesn’t love, her rebellion draws LeVeq into an irresistible intrigue.
The book goes on sale May 28.
