Simon Sevier doesn’t believe in magic or Voodoo. After escaping the crazies in the bayou to join the Army and Delta Force, he’s now back in the bayou world, working for Brotherhood Protectors and drawn to Holly Hazard, the mysterious new waitress at the Crawdad Hole Bar & Grill. Holly left her bayou home after a string of curses claimed the lives of her parents and boyfriend. A few years later, she’s back in Bayou Mambaloa seeking answers after a new curse finds her in her home in Atlanta. With the help of the handsome former Delta Force operative, Simon, and the local Voodoo Queen, she struggles to uncover the secrets of the bayou—where curses may be real, and love might be the strongest magic of all.
Author
Award-winning author Elle James grew up as an air force military brat. She received her work ethic from her rock-solid father, her creative streak from her artistic mother and inspiration from her writing partner and sister, Delilah Devlin. As a former member of the army reserves and a current member of the air force reserves, she's traveled across the United States and to Germany, managed a full-time job, and raised three wonderful children. She and her husband have even tried their hands at ranching exotic birds (ostriches, emus and rheas) in the Texas hill country. Ask her, and she'll tell you what it's like to go toe-to-toe with an angry three-hundred-and-fifty-pound bird and live to tell about it! Her adventures in the army and air force reserves, and the wild antics of her life on a small ranch in Texas give her fodder for mystery, suspense and humor in her writing. Elle writes gothic, paranormal mystery for the Harlequin Intrigue line and paranormal romantic comedy for Dorchester Publishing. A former manager of computer programming and project management professionals, Elle is happy she now has the opportunity to pursue her writing full time.
