Book 3: Tortured Souls Series
River Road
Their love is forbidden…
Charles Moore relishes his dangerous life as the pirate Hatchet. But his past deeds haunt him, and he can’t ignore the whispers that New Orleans’s Voodoo Queen, Marie Laveau herself, has hexed his family.
Creole widow Hope Leblonc bristles under the city’s Black Codes that stripped her of so many freedoms and forced her practice of voodoo underground. When Hatchet seeks her help in lifting the curse, she concedes under one condition. He must steal back a family relic she needs to become a mambo in her religion.
But they’re both holding secrets that endanger their lives. When ghosts from the past exact revenge for the skeletons in the Moore family closet, will Hope and Hatchet discover that love is worth the risk in time to survive the coming darkness?
WHAT READERS ARE SAYING ABOUT RIVER ROAD:
- From the dark voodoo to the possible romance between Charles and Hope, this book kept me hooked from beginning to end. I definitely want to go back and read the other two books in the trilogy now!
- The heroine was incredibly strong in a time when women had no voice. I love how the author incorporated diverse characters without it feeling forced.
- This story is poignant and very suspenseful, with a tense race against time that will have readers rapidly turning pages. [InD’tale Magazine]
