A Stella Cameron classic. First time in eBook.

Emma Lachance is taken by surprise when she runs into her friend and high-school crush, Finn Duhon, on a construction site in Pointe Judah, Louisiana. But the last thing she expects to find is the corpse of her friend, a local journalist whose relentlessly scathing articles have enraged every lawmaker and opportunist in town, including the mayor—Emma’s husband.

When more bodies are found, Emma and Finn wonder if the link is Secrets, an eclectic support group for women in which all the murder victims were members. A group that has helped Emma find the strength to divorce her abusive, unfaithful husband.

Could an innocent women’s club drive a furious husband or boyfriend to murder, or are the killings only made to look as if that’s the connection? Emma and Finn intend to find out—before Emma becomes the next body of evidence….

‘Tis the season to be wary…

Christmas is coming and all is far from calm in Pointe Judah, Louisiana. Newcomer Christian DeAngelo — Angel to his friends — is at his wit’s end trying to manage Sonny, the hotheaded nineteen-year-old everyone believes is his nephew. In fact, Sonny is the orphaned son of a notorious mob boss, a protected witness…and Angel’s responsibility.

Angel has been commiserating with Eileen Moggeridge, whose lonely son Aaron has latched on to Sonny and gotten into deeper trouble than ever. But nothing could prepare Angel and Eileen for the boys’ latest crisis: as they are horsing around in the swamp one afternoon, a shot rings out. Aaron is hit, but was the bullet meant for Sonny?

Suddenly, goodwill toward men is in short supply and Angel doesn’t know who’s more dangerous: the hoodoo mystic with an eerie hold over the boys, the hit man roaming the bayou or Eileen’s volatile ex-husband, Chuck.

A Bayou Book

A Stella Cameron classic. First time in eBook.

Roche Savage is a talented psychiatrist with an insatiable — some might say kinky — sex drive. He’s always avoided gentle, reserved women because he knows that if he loses control… Unfortunately, he spies reticent Bleu Labeau, a young widow who has come to Toussaint to start a new school — Bleu, who was taught that sex is dirty, wrong and best performed in the dark.

The school has unleashed another passion, as well. When bodies start turning up, the local sheriff and the townspeople must fend for themselves. Taking the lead, Roche and Bleu race to unravel the mystery. But when it’s revealed that all the victims are former patients of Roche, speculation arises that the people of Toussaint may not be looking for a stranger, but one of their own.

The first mistake
Dead: an ordinary man in a pressed suit and tie. Just the latest in a string of losers in the wrong place at the most disastrous time. Not the kind of case to yank New Orleans Homicide Detective Guy Gautreax away from his leave of absence in Toussaint, Louisiana, the only home to offer him a sense of purpose after a tragedy that nearly destroyed his life.

The second mistake
But there’s someone in Toussaint Guy will do anything — even open up a dead cold case — to shelter. Jilly Gable is desperate to find the love of the family who abandoned her as a child. And when the wife of a powerful New Orleans antiques dealer, loan shark — and twisted degenerate — sweeps into town claiming to be her mother, Jilly is all too willing to love and forget.

The final reckoning
Slowly and methodically, an evil envelopes Jilly and Guy must bare the truth to snatch her back from the edge. Connecting the dots between the Big Easy and Toussaint all but cinches his case, but Jilly and Guy are drawn deeper into corruption and they have only each other for protection.

Will that be enough?

Phoenix’s best friend, April, has been missing for eighteen months. Her desire for truth is what makes Phoenix a great lawyer and is also what can get her into trouble.

Posing as a masseuse to gather information at a ritzy, secluded mountain spa is way outside Phoenix’s skill set. But how hard can it be to smooth oils over muscular men, especially when Phoenix is searching for her missing best friend—the woman whose place she is taking at the exclusive pleasure club?

Very hard and increasingly treacherous when the muscles she works on belong to Roman Wilde, an ex-navy SEAL working undercover. Roman is on his own mission—to unravel a sinister criminal ring with long tentacles.

Roman and Phoenix are an unlikely pair pushed together—uneasily—as hunting partners. Passion and power can make irresistible bedfellows . . . or a deadly combination.
