Love Be Mine (The Louisiana Ladies Series, Book 3) - Plot & Excerpts
He spent long hours at the firm's offices, and by the end of March he was thoroughly familiar with all aspects of the workings of Galland, Lancaster and Dupree. Jean and François remained touchy about the situation, but he had to give them credit for not interfering any more than they did. He also had to admit that Jean had assembled a competent and hardworking staff. Jean Dupree, he conceded, was not a complete fool. In fact, the man had a good business head—when he used it. His dinner party at the hotel for the Duprees had not yet come about, primarily because the week following his invitation, the ladies and Jean had departed New Orleans for Riverbend. It was sugar-cane planting time, and Jean needed to be there to oversee the setting out of the young crop. François had remained in the city, and Jean had made periodic trips into New Orleans to keep a no-doubt-jealous eye on events at Galland, Lancaster and Dupree. Hugh had been surprised at the wave of disappointment which had swept through him when he had learned that the Dupree ladies had left the city for the country.
