Joy & Anger

Daughter of one of Hollywood's legendary directors, Julie Bullard is fast making her mark as one of the film industry's hottest young women directors. Filming on location in the Louisiana bayou, her latest project is a high-budget film that will make or break her career.

An artist true to her subject, she yearns to capture the towering cypress trees, dark green palmetto palms, and the rich. Cajun culture. She wants realism. Authenticity. And she wants Rey Tabary to get them for her. Nicknamed the Swamp Rat, the sexy Creole is like the land--mysterious and untamed. For that very reason, Julie is afraid of him--and what he could do to her safe, well-regulated fife.

But something is wrong on the set: a series of horrible accidents have everyone unsettled. Julie must turn to Rey to face the deadly reality of a killer--and with. him, dare to taste the pleasures of uncompromising love. . . .
