💜 A missing bride. A city of secrets. And one night in New Orleans where desire is as dangerous as the dark. Mardi Gras is chaos—music, masks, and bodies pressed too close—but when the bride disappears after a tarot reading, the celebration turns into a nightmare. The police wave me off, but I refuse to let her vanish into the crowd. That's when I find Ronan LeBlanc, a private investigator with a jaw like a locked door and a gaze that makes my pulse stumble. He doesn't want this case. He doesn't want me at his side. Yet from the crowded parades to the hush of the cemeteries, I can feel the heat between us rising faster than the stakes. I know this city. Its parades hide predators, its masks hide lies, and its nights are thick with secrets. A missing bride during Mardi Gras is bad enough—but Violet Jameson is trouble in heels, and she's not letting go until she has answers. She drags me through the Quarter's darkest corners, where nothing is what it seems and the truth keeps slipping out of reach. She's reckless. She's relentless. And under the spell of Bourbon Street lights, wanting her might be the one risk I can't outrun. 🔥 Grumpy-sunshine Protector PI Forced proximity Bachelorette party gone wrong Open-door heat Guaranteed HEA Steamy, spicy, and bingeable in one sitting. 🎭 ********************************************* Series Join ten of your favorite romance authors on a wild ride through Bourbon Street for the hottest Bachelorette Parties of Mardi Gras, where each string of beads is earned the old-fashioned way in the Big Easy.
