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.
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.
