This is the ninth book in the Liz Lucas Cozy Mystery Series by a two time USA Today Best Selling Author.

New Orleans is famous for its pralines, beignets, jazz, Bourbon Street, and the French Quarter. But there’s a darker side to the Big Easy, one that involves voodoo and gris-gris.

Nicole Rogers recently moved to Red Cedar from New Orleans. She’d lost weight, became engaged, and had a new job as the manager of a local bank in the small town. But when she found voodoo dolls in her gym locker, work desk, and on her front porch, she was scared. She knew what receiving the dolls meant – someone wanted to hurt her or kill her, and she was right. A few days later, Nicole’s body was found on her front porch with a voodoo doll next to it. She’d been murdered.

What is the connection between Nicole’s murder and the voodoo dolls? Liz Lucas, an amateur sleuth, is determined to find the connection and catch the killer. While on a trip to New Orleans to attend a cooking school known for its Cajun-Creole style of cooking, she learns a lot from a gris-gris doctor who specializes in voodoo, hexes, spells, and superstitions.

But who would want to kill Nicole? Was it the bank employee Nicole fired? What about Nicole’s sister, who had legally changed her name to Marie Leveau (the Queen of Voodoo in New Orleans)? Or Candace Norgan, the woman her fiancé dropped when he fell in love with Nicole? Or even Maddie, Nicole’s friend and the Assistant Manager at the bank?

Join Liz and her dog Winston as they search for the killer.

Leo is less than thrilled when he’s asked to find the missing son of a billionaire. There’s only one clue to go on—something known as “eros.”

Could the missing scion be connected to the dead man on the beach? And what is the mystery behind “eros"?

Their investigation uncovers an ultra-secret cult whose members perform bizarre rituals.

When Leo goes undercover to get more information, he finds himself face to face with a demented killer. Can he escape with the truth? Or, will he fall prey to a psychotic villain who believes that murder is a sacrifice worth making?

Notorious rogue, Lord Nathaniel Kingsley always tended to leap without thinking. Becoming a smuggler, adopting a sheep, getting engaged to Miss Patience Grey….
Patience has no need for a fiancé, or a husband. For once in her life, she wants to prove she’s just as good as a man and she does not need Nathaniel Kingsley getting in her way. With her brother injured, it is up to her to continue her family’s work…and that means tracking down a French spy and ensuring said spy will turn.
Unfortunately, no one believes she can do it alone. Which is where Nathaniel comes in.
Nate is happy to be of service. Why pass up the opportunity to repay an old friend, especially with a little intrigue along the way? Find the spy, play escort to Patience, return home to continue smuggling. Easy.
Or at least it would be if the stubborn Patience would let him do his job. The breeches-wearing woman is determined to do it all alone and, he has to admit, there’s something quite distracting about a woman in men’s clothes.
Can he keep his attention from her long enough to complete their mission and persuade Patience to let him do his job and protect her? A job he’s beginning to find he’s enjoying a lot more than he thought he would…

Chuck McGregor, adrenaline junkie, is done with combat and itching for something to do. He's got wealth on his side, but no direction to guide him. For now, he spends his days on the Georgia beach and his nights drinking too much. He has no job, no friends, no purpose.

Until one day on the beach he hears a young woman scream, fighting to get away from two men. When he goes to help, one of them pulls a gun. And, as the men drag the girl away, Chuck McGregor finds his new purpose: save this girl he's never met. No matter the cost.

From the moment you are born, you are conditioned to know this truth: Unorthodoxy is wrong action, Heterodoxy is wrong thought. One will lead to your Detention. The other to your Execution.

Two generations after the Execution of Kane 148 and Otpor's return to Orthodoxy, the Resistor's legacy still lingers.

In this future, post-apocalyptic Paris, forbidden murals are appearing on crumbling concrete walls – calling citizens to action. Calling for Resistance.

When Kane's former protege, Anaiya 234, is selected for a high-risk undercover mission, Otpor is given the chance it needs to eliminate the Heterodoxy and Anaiya the opportunity she craves to erase a shameful past.

But the mission demands an impossible sacrifice – her identity.

While the growing rebellion will change the utopian lives of all Otpor's citizens, for Anaiya it will change who she is. As the risk of violence escalates and every decision is fraught with betrayal, will Anaiya's fractured identity save her or condemn her?

From a cruel and desolate future, one tough-as-nails soldier is forced to relive her even crueler high school years, where the key to saving the world may not be learning to fight but learning to love…

In 2045, Major Cora Johnson is the middle-aged leader of an elite US Army squad in a dying world, where mysterious time-altering weapons have started a second civil war. A devastating plague has pushed humanity to the brink of extinction. The only thing keeping Cora going is the belief she must keep fighting to end the war and save the future.

When a bomb goes off during her squad’s attack on a temporal weapons facility, Cora dies…and then wakes up in her teenaged body in the past.

Her childhood memories have been wiped away, leaving her stumbling around the unfamiliar and cruel world of the modern teenage girl. She may have one ally, though—Quentin Rose, another traveler from the future trapped in his teenage body and fighting for survival in the take-no-prisoners war zone of high school. Unfortunately, she’s not sure if he’ll help her, kill her…or kiss her.

Things get even stranger when Cora receives mysterious orders to kill the school queen bee, Madison, who she’s told will start the Second Civil War. But since being forced to relive the past and everything she sacrificed for the greater good, she’s beginning to question what she fought for to begin with—and if it’s worth doing again.

Should she obey like the good soldier she’s supposed to be, or resist and risk destroying the future?

I never gave a f*ck about my family’s billions.

I’m a military man, honorable and true.

But my damn brother felt differently. He had me tossed in prison for a crime I didn’t commit, and now, all I think about is revenge.

It slowly becomes an obsession until something finally breaks through the dark cloud.

My high school sweetheart.

It’s been ten years since graduation, and she isn’t a little smart-assed girl anymore.

She’s a woman. My woman.

I thought prison would undo me, but nothing could prepare me for the secret my girl held back from me.

A baby. A family. One I didn’t know I had.

And now my brother knows, too. He’ll use anything to destroy me, including my kid.

Money creates opportunity, but there’s a cost it requires.

The payment for wealth is high, and my brother is willing to go all in.

I might have started out honorable, but now?

There’s nothing this ex-con won’t do to keep his family safe.

Even kill.

Every good girl deserves a bad boy ~ Weston

How far will you go when betrayed by people you thought you knew?

An inexperienced sheriff working his first kidnapping. A lottery-winning grandmother determined to handle things in her own savage way. And the ruthless party-girl in the middle of it all.

Sheriff Billy Keene is in way over his head. He knows it and so does everyone else in the small town of Caulfield. So when the spoiled granddaughter of a local-lottery winner is kidnapped, everyone is telling Billy how to do his job. Or, worse, not telling him anything at all.

Newly-rich Arlita Hardy’s certainly not saying much and why should she?

Rather than leave her granddaughter's life in the hand's of a lawman as green as Billy, Arlita decides to use her money and a local thug to rescue her granddaughter — and punish the kidnappers.

And in the middle of it all: Sharla Ricketts.

As usual, she’s drinking and drugging, playing one side against the other and lying to the liars. But Sharla’s life has gotten out of hand since we last saw her in Getaway. She doesn’t realize that this time all her craziness may cost her more than she's willing to pay.

With time running out and the meth-head kidnappers growing more brutal each day, Billy scrambles to be the first to find Arlita’s missing granddaughter. But Billy’s always a step behind Arlita…and his next step might just get him killed.

There’s only one problem, I forgot everything… except marrying her.

I’m used to my billions getting me into sh*t situations.
I should have known a night in Vegas would be no different.
But it was, thanks to one tall, gorgeous woman.
Arcadia.
Her plump, full lips as they grazed my skin,
Warm, soulful eyes watching me as I made her mine.
F*cking each other all night.
When I awoke, she was gone.
With a fresh tattoo and ring on my finger, I started my search.
I could have never guessed what I’d find,
Now her life’s in my hands. I have to protect her.
If this mafia bastard is used to getting what he wants,
He’s about to be disappointed.
Cause I protect what’s mine. Period.

I’ll keep her safe. He better be ready, I’m done playing games.
