Hiding as Just Désirée: Désirée's Story - Part Three

Part Three of Désirée's Story

"The future holds no guarantees for anyone, Désirée, but this moment is yours, this opportunity yours, to design your life the way you see it. Don't waste this time fretting over what you perceive you've lost. Embrace it, use it to become who you want to be. You don't need Beau to do that."
>Thirteen-year-old Désirée must decide who she will become while living in a country that doesn't share her values. She believed Bill Marchand would be there to guide her, but he left her to figure it out on her own.

Désirée quickly learns the rules of New Orleans society and how to avoid breaking them, and with the help of new friendships, she builds the life she dreamed of as Just Désirée, while always hiding her past.

When Bill returns, Désirée's life shifts again, then fractures when his best friend-also his worst enemy-uncovers the hidden truth about her.

Carson's revenge on Désirée forces her to conceal her shame, but when her suspicions about Carson prove true, she must risk everything, even her freedom and life, to save a friend from certain death.
