Not many people know their way through the bayous well enough to find Will Novak's crumbling mansion outside New Orleans. Not that Novak wants to talk to anyone. He keeps his guns close and his guard always up.

Bad Sister

Mariah Murray is one selfish, reckless, manipulative woman, the kind Novak would never want to get tangled up with. But he can't say no to his dead's wife sister.

Bad Vibes

When Mariah tells him she wants to rescue a childhood friend, another Aussie girl gone conveniently missing in north Georgia, Novak can't turn her down. She's hiding something. But the pretty little town she's targeted screams trouble, too. Novak knows there's a trap waiting. But until he springs it, there's no telling who to trust . . .
