This book is a 2 for 1 and the second book is The Secret of Cypriere Bayou. Olivia Markham is a horror writer and she rents "haunted" houses for inspiration. This time she has chosen the estate evilly named laMalediction. I seems the ideal setting but with it's strange noises, hidden passageways...and the unwelcoming, sexy caretaker John Landry, Olivia isn't sure that this place isn't really haunted. John has work of his own to do and he doesn't need the distraction of a mysterious beauty. He can't ignore the fact that something strange is going on in that house. They find themselves working together to ferret out the secrets but they also find that their attraction for each other is mutual and extremely satisfying.

The Secret of Cypriere Bayou is a fascinating look into bayou life with its different rhythms and superstitions while adding in a sweet romance between two equally strong people. No matter how many times I read this author's books and I do enjoy everything that comes out of her wicked imagination I can never guess the ending. All the twists and turns keeps the storylines fresh and interesting.
