The Runaways Series by Jill Marie Landis

On the streets of New Orleans 1816, a veiled woman approached Celine Winters and asked her to switch places. For Celine, it meant a chance to escape, a daydream come true. By simply exchanging cloaks, Celine and the mystery woman would exchange their lives--and fates. Celine would marry a man she had never met, live in a land she'd never seen, and find a destiny far greater than any daydream. Note: this is a re-issue of a classic "old school" style historical romance with explicit love scenes... moreOn the streets of New Orleans 1816, a veiled woman approached Celine Winters and asked her to switch places.
