Jennifer Blake’s Louisiana History series groups her novels that most directly engage with the state’s past. Embrace And Conquer is set during the Spanish takeover of French Louisiana. Louisiana Dawn explores the territory during the period around the Louisiana Purchase. Southern Rapture and Prisoner of Desire are set in the more familiar antebellum era.
The nine novels in the series draw on Blake’s deep knowledge of Louisiana’s multilayered history, where French, Spanish, African, and American cultures have mixed for centuries. Several titles, like Royal Seduction and Royal Passion, connect to her Royal Family of Ruthenia series, showing how Blake’s fictional world stretches across multiple series boundaries.
