Checkmate, Mon Chéri

Author: SunshineDees

Cordelia's first murder case should have been simple. Instead, it led her straight to Louis—aristocratic, impossibly alluring, and the whispered monster of New Orleans. He's the enemy. Every instinct screams it. But when he hires her to solve a crime he might have committed, refusal isn't an option. Louis is a predator. And Cordelia, with her quick tongue and naive bravery, is the first woman in centuries to make him feel alive. He wants her mind. He wants her defiance. He wants her. The hunt is on. But in a game where every move is a seduction and every truth is a trap, falling in love might be the deadliest checkmate of all.
