Wildest Dreams (The Contemporary Collection)

Two extraordinary women - 150 years apart - search Europe for a special perfume, and their own secret hearts for the thing that matters most....

The perfume is legendary, once worn by Cleopatra and Empress Josephine -- and made in New Orleans for more than 150 years. Its history and enthralling scent render it priceless, and while many are determined to exploit it, Joletta Caressa's beloved grandmother, Violet, took its secret formula with her when she died.

Now Joletta must reconstruct it using the journals written by Violet, who brought the perfume home from a Victorian-era grand tour of Europe. The code is in the yellowed pages, tied to the places Violet visited -- London, Paris, the Swiss Alps, Venice, and a secluded garden in the Italian countryside.

As Joletta follows the itinerary described, she runs into Rone Adamson, a charming Southern gentleman with a quirky sense of humor and suspicious understanding of perfume production. After an odd accident, Rone comes to her aid then invites himself on her pilgrimage.

Meanwhile, within the pages of the journal, Violet embarks on a daring love affair, intimately connected to the perfume, with an intriguing artist who woos her with his tender touch. Yet all is not sweet scents and moonlight for Violet in the 1850s; scandal and death darken her path across Europe.

With Joletta's own path mimicking her grandmother's much too precisely, she must decide whether to trust her dubious white knight -- or leave him behind as she follows the perfume's trail to its bitter end.
