Gardner, author of Letters for Scarlet Louisiana gets a whole lot hotter in this new adult saga of romance, mystery, and suspense from Family Circle Award-Winning Author Lauren Faulkenberry. Thirty-year-old Enza Parker is at a crossroads. To prove herself to her overbearing father, she takes on an ambitious project that brings back painful memories—and puts her in the path of the most alluring man she's ever met. As a child, Enza spent her summers in little Bayou Sabine, Louisiana with her grandmother—until the day her mother inexplicably left and her world fell apart. Since then, Enza hasn't let anyone get close to her. The sudden death of her estranged grandmother brings a surprise opportunity when Enza inherits the home. She must return to Bayou Sabine to flip the house and win her father’s approval—and put her painful past to rest. Arriving in Bayou Sabine, Enza finds her house occupied by bedeviling firefighter Jack Mayronne. Enza wants to kick him out, but Jack convinces her to let him stay in exchange for helping with repairs. With only six weeks to fix the house and sell, she's determined to prove she can finish the project—and uncover the truth about her mother’s disappearance. But she didn't count on Jack—and Bayou Sabine—capturing her heart. When Enza's fling with Jack intensifies, she finds herself entangled with a vengeful arsonist from Jack's past. As Enza reaches her breaking point, she must decide: Should she sell the house and leave her past behind for good, or can she overcome her fears and build a new life there with Jack? less
