Baton Rouge undercover cop John "Tee-John" LeDeux has a reputation as a wild man and a player, which fits in perfectly with his newest assignment; posing as a male prostitute in an exclusive and very illegal sex club run by the Lorenzos, a Louisiana Mafia family. But when straight-laced reporter Celine Arseneux walks into the club dressed for a little action, John knows he needs to get her out of there fast! Unfortunately, Celine refuses to leave until she gets her news story on the club, which means they're still arguing when the police raid the place. With the Mafia clued into John's involvement in the bust, he's ordered to lay low for a few weeks until after the trial, so he volunteers to join his Tante Lulu's latest project; searching for Lafitte's pirate treasure in Bayou Black with the help of the Jinx Inc treasure hunting team. The team is soon joined by a reluctant Celine, who was ordered to cover the dig for her paper. The Jinx crew doesn't trust her, but they allow her to stay on the condition that she remain for the entire expedition, which could take weeks, forcing her and John into very close quarters. The only person who is happy about the arrangement is Tante Lulu, who has been determined to get John married and who sees Celine as the answer to her prayers to St. Jude, the saint of hopeless cases. Everyone can see the sparks flying between Celine and John, but Tante Lulu suspects there is something more going on, a suspicion which is confirmed when she discovers that Celine has a five-year-old son who is the spitting image of Tee-John! Celine is forced to admit that the boy, Etienne, is John's son, conceived during a drunken one-night stand while the two were in college. The Arseneuxs and the LeDeuxs have had a long-standing feud for decades, and Celine promised her grandfather she wouldn't tell John about the baby in exchange for her grandfather's help in raising Etienne. The discovery that he has a son shocks John to the core, but it also ignites a burning anger towards Celine for keeping Etienne a secret for the past five years. The bitter argument that follows shreds the fragile relationship that had been developing while they worked together at the dig, and pits them against each other in a battle for custody of Etienne. But Tante Lulu knows that St Jude just can't be wrong, and that these two are destined for each other, whether they're too thickheaded to realize it or not. It just means that she'll need to gather the considerable talents and creative minds of the LeDeuxs and their Jinx friends to formulate a plan, no matter how outrageous, to force John and Celine to realize how much they love each other. WILD JINX, the third book in the Jinx Series, is populated with the same riotous cast of characters from Sandra Hill's other Jinx and Cajun novels which will keep you laughing from cover to cover. Tante Lulu is outrageous, opinionated and an utter delight, and Celine and John's pitched battles and passionate encounters keep the sexual tension at a steady boil. The outlandish adventures of this wacky, wonderful family will make you wish you lived on the bayou!
