Romance Contemporary

Ninety-two-year-old Tante Lulu has had a vision that her great nephew, John LeDeux, will get married this year. And her visions are never wrong, since she helps the cause by employing her exceptional matchmaking skills. Invoking St. Jude, her favorite saint, Tante begins John's hope chest and makes her plans.

John loves women and they love him, but he does not intend to marry until he is 40. When Tante Lulu arrives announcing his upcoming nuptials, he declines. However, he knows Tante Lulu's track record and fear permeates every part of his body.

Celine Arseneux returns to Baton Rouge believing her past can't catch up with her. She could not have been more wrong. Celine is working undercover gathering information for a story on the Playpen sex club when bad-boy John LeDeux walks in. Six years ago, Celine acted on her long- standing crush and had a one-night stand with John. In the morning, he's gone; nine months later, she has a beautiful baby boy, who's the spitting image of his father.

Celine never let John know about his son, instead deciding to stay with her grandfather, who hates the LeDeux family. Now, as she's being arrested with John, an undercover detective, Celine remembers why she needs to stay away from him. He vibrates good times and sex. Celine cannot afford to let her heart be crushed again.

When geeky Celine shows up at a bust, John faintly remembers her from their one night together, definitely not memorable. Trying to convince Tante Lulu that the sparks flying between Celine and him are an aberration -- and they are NOT marrying -- proves exceedingly difficult.

Get ready for a hilarious Cajun romantic comedy that involves treasure hunting, a sexy bad-boy, an intelligent woman who knows better, and the irresistible Tante Lulu. Ms. Hill once again proves she's adept at writing sharp and witty dialogue that guarantees readers will be laughing themselves silly at the characters' antics.

SUMMARY

Hot... When reporter Celine Arseneux entered The Playpen, a Baton Rouge club for men and women, she never expected John LeDeux to swagger up to her. Sure, they bayou's notorious bad boy is pure sex on the hoof, but even with her expose on the line. Celine refuses to be a conquest left cryin' in her crayfish--at least not again. Not for a man who doesn't remember her! Bothered... Detective LeDeux has always been too hot to handle, but now he's on fire as the cop who posed as a gigolo to bust the Dixie Mafia. Joining Tanta Lulu's treasure hunt seems a fine way to avoid the media ruckus--until Celine pursues her story deep into the bayou, stoking John's hazy memories of a sizzling night five years ago. And ready to take it all off! Lovers and pirates and gangsters--oh my! It's another wild ride with Jinx Inc., where trouble is no match for a cagey Cajun matchmaker... and passion conquers all.
