Publisher Description
New York Times bestselling author Jennifer L. Armentrout delivers the unforgettable story of a woman whose new life has just begun—but may end in murder . . .
Julia Hughes has always played it safe until she learned a very painful lesson. Now Julia’s starting over with a job in the Louisiana bayou—and a scorching encounter with a stranger, only to discover he’s Lucian de Vincent . . . her new employer. The de Vincent brothers share a massive fortune and a dark reputation. Julia cares for their troubled sister, but a menacing presence in the mansion—and the ever-present temptation of Lucian—prove dangerously distracting.
Lucian’s grandmother claimed de Vincent men fall in love once—and hard. Apparently, it’s Lucian’s turn. Julia’s compassionate care of his twin makes Lucian want to lay himself bare. But some secrets are better for Julia not to know.
The recent “suicide” of Lucian’s father is the latest in a string of deaths on the estate. Someone is eliminating the de Vincents. And the best way to get to Lucian may be through Julia. . . .
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
This suspenseful, if occasionally overwrought, contemporary romance begins a series featuring the rich and powerful de Vincent family, which has long been haunted by tragedy. Troubled adult brothers Lucian, Gabriel, and Devlin still live in the palatial Louisiana family home. When Lucian's twin sister, Madeline, who'd been missing for 10 years, reappears barely conscious, for reasons no one can ascertain and then patriarch Lawrence takes his own life, the brothers must confront unpleasant truths. Meanwhile, they hire warmhearted and straitlaced nurse Julia Hughes to take care of Maddie. Subterfuge on Lucian's part gets their working relationship off to an uncomfortable start, but Julia is drawn to Lucian despite herself and eager to do what she can to help Maddie. Both emotional and erotic tension drive the narrative along at a quick pace. Sometimes the answers to various plot questions are less than satisfying, but the complex mysteries and slightly gothic atmosphere will keep readers coming back for more.
Customer Reviews
Mystery Thriller with a Steamy Romance
The first book in the de Vincent series, Moonlight Sins is a mystery thriller with steamy romance.
I loved the tension and buildup between our main characters Lucian and Julia. Julia has taken a very “hush hush” nursing job in Louisiana, she soon finds out she is working for the de Vincent family, one of the wealthiest families in the country. Her job is to take care of their sister who has decided to turn home and is quite unwell.
Weird things start happening and I start to question whether the house is haunted or if something more sinister is going on.
If you love mystery romance then you’ll be sure to love this read. I can’t wait to read the next in this series..
