An Interlude

Résumé du livre

Peter A Myerson, IV, a successful businessman in New York City, has little time to deal with a house left to him by a great-aunt he never knew. He will simply go to New Orleans, sell the house and return to his well organized life. That plan flies out the window when he meets CJ Fortier, the historical preservationist hired to restore Belvedere Place. As different as they are, Peter is instantly drawn to her passion, and not just for her work.

In the process of remodeling they find an old diary written by his great-aunt with entries dating back to the 1920’s. It’s a glimpse into the past when the house was a speakeasy and brothel and gives them ideas for fulfilling a few fantasies of their own. As their relationship deepens, Peter finds he needs to rethink what he wants out of life.
