"In a tiny bayou town with far too many wicked secrets, the sudden disappearance of a six-year-old girl is a mystery Sheriff Holt Chamberlain is determined to solve. But teaming up with Alexandria Bastin is a complication he didn''t expect. Nor is he prepared to collide with the dark side of Cajun culture--and his own troubled past. The frantic search leads them to a place said to hold magic, an eerie island where Alex is also working her charm on him. At one time, he''d been forced to leave her brokenhearted. And now, dangerously close to the truth, he''ll do anything to protect her from the evil that surrounds them--an evil that might hold the key to sending a little girl home"--Publisher.

One remote bayou mansion was holding tight to its secrets Bodyguard Brian Marcentel knew Justine Chatry had a job to do, but so did he. He''d been hired to keep her safe—from whatever lurked behind the walls of a long-neglected mansion. And yet, the beautiful researcher insisted on helping him investigate every suspicious noise and following him through the murky bayou as he tracked down trespassers. All of that paled in comparison, though, to his greatest challenge: trying to resist her when the fear took over and she looked to him for protection. Still, no matter how fiery their attraction, there was something about this frustrating, sexy woman that seemed so familiar. But trying to penetrate her secrets was like trying to keep her out of his arms. Or out of his bed.

A psychic new to Mudbug must join forces with a ghost and an FBI agent to unravel a mysterious kidnapping, all without revealing her own dark past.
