Black Rose (Shadow‪)‬

New Orleans nightclub owner Mia LeMay's protected Creole world shatters when she witnesses a murder and she's forced to put her life in the hands of a man she's never met. A man whose golden eyes hide as many dark, dangerous secrets as the killer who wants her dead.

Guilt twists like a knife in Agent Rick Ryder's gut. He has a personal stake in keeping the black-haired beauty safe, and once his superiors figure out the stunt he pulled to make sure he's the one protecting her, his life will be worth about as much as hers if he fails.

Deep in the Louisiana mangroves, the steamy bayou has nothing on the heat of desire surrounding them. But danger lurks in the shadows. Things that slither. Things that bite. And an evil determined to make sure Mia doesn't live to see the light of another dawn . . .

Contains mature themes.
