The Bayou Never Tells - Paperback

by Chelley St Clair (Author)

The only thing darker than the waters of the Louisiana bayou are the secrets it holds. I'd know-I've buried more than a few myself.

She was supposed to be one of them.

I was the boy who never had a chance, an orphan recruited by the devil himself, until the family I never knew gave me something to live for.

Then my brother brought her home-the rich politician's daughter, a real-life fairytale princess who had no place in our world. We were oil and water, and making her leave became my mission, 'til the little tag-along ended up in my passenger's seat driving cross-country. That's when we discovered a common thread... something that ran soul deep. Something hard to resist.

But no one I cared about was safe, and when she left, I made her promise never to come back.

Turns out, she lied.

Now the devil who claimed my future wants her, as well, and when I'm faced with a choice, who will come out alive?

The demons who own me?

The family who loves me?

Or the girl I wasn't supposed to fall for?

Only the bayou knows...

And its secrets die here.
