Silk and Smoke
An erotic supernatural thriller
When Ayana Wells inherits her grandmother's weathered New Orleans home, she doesn't expect to find anything but creaking floorboards and old family secrets. Instead, she awakens something else-something older, deeper, and devastatingly seductive.
Étienne Rousseau is not just a ghost. He's a gentleman of another era, with velvet words and a hunger that transcends death. At first, Ayana is drawn in by his charm, his elegance, the haunting intimacy of his presence. Their connection burns with passion and danger-and a loneliness only the dead can understand.
But love, even from beyond the veil, can curdle.
When Ayana tries to break free and embrace the living, Étienne refuses to let go. Now he's not only haunting her dreams, but her home, her sister, her new lover-and he's willing to kill to keep her his.
Sensual, suspenseful, and terrifying, Silk and Smoke is a slow-burning descent into obsession, where love crosses the line into possession-and a woman must choose between the living and the dead before neither survives.
