Overview

Nationally bestselling author Meagan McKinney is acclaimed for her atmospheric tales of passion, peril, and promise. Book after book, she receives glowing praise from reviewers and readers alike. A Man to Slay Dragons, a Kensington hardcover and Zebra paperback in 1996, is considered a masterpiece of romance suspense and stayed on the USA Today bestseller list for three weeks. Now, she delivers a new tale of danger and desire. STILL OF THE NIGHT sweeps readers into the heart of Louisiana bayou county, where ancient moss-draped oaks and gracious antebellum manors form a vivid backdrop for one woman's determination to preserve her family's legacy at any cost - even the kind of love that comes along once in a lifetime. For almost two centuries, the proud St. Valliers have inhabited Shadow Oaks, a once elegant Cane Town plantation. Now only two descendants remain: thirty-something Stella and her elderly aunt, Rose. Aware that time is running out for the rundown sugar cane plantation, Stella is convinced that the key to Shadow Oaks' future lies within the old walls of the house itself. Pirate ancestors supposedly concealed a treasure in a secret room. But Stella's search is swiftly disrupted by unforescen obstacles. A shocking crime in the bayou. Whispers about a local conspiracy with links to high-reaching government officials. Gunshots in the night - and a wounded stranger collapsing on Stella's property. Undercover U.S. Marshall Garrett Shaw was sent to Cane Town to investigate a murder. Now, having narrowly escaped an attempt on his own life, Garrett - the object of a furious manhunt - is safely concealed in Stella's hidden room, where he grows fascinated by her tales of long lost pirate loot - and, by his protector herself. Stella longs to trust the man whose very presence is a stark reminder of all she'll never have if she remains at Shadow Oaks. Yet danger soon closes in, and with it, signs that the stranger she shelters might have his very own secrets to hide.
