Everett Ramses came into my life like a hurricane on a dark New Orleans’ night. With a deep voice and penetrating gaze, his mere presence tingled my nerves and twisted my insides much as the city’s legendary stories of spirits and ghosts.
As the ruler of New Orleans, Everett Ramses lives life hard and takes what he wants without apology.
He wants me to be his queen.
I am not an unwilling capture or a damsel in distress.
No, I, Emma North, willingly fell for the man who proclaims himself the devil.
Rett brought me into a world I never knew existed. He saved me when I faltered, while setting his rules and satisfying my needs. In his large mysterious home, he provided a safe haven, helping me understand that there is only one person to whom a queen bows, her king.
I promised to be Rett’s wife, to give in to fate’s demand, with one warning. I would take his name and rule at his side; Rett Ramses could have my thoughts and my body, but my heart would never be part of the deal. I’d given it long ago to another man, one who left it in broken shards when he disappeared.
Do I follow through on the promise I made to Rett, or do I listen to the advice of my past and run before it’s too late?
The future of New Orleans is now in my hands.
