de Vincent

The de Vincent brothers are back-and so is the intrigue that surrounds them-in New York Times bestselling author Jennifer L. Armentrout's sizzling new novel ... Nicolette Bresson never thought she'd return to the de Vincents' bayou compound. It's where her parents work, where Nikki grew up ... and where she got her heart broken by Gabriel de Vincent himself. Yet here she is, filling in for her sick mother. Avoiding Gabe should be easy, especially when so much of Nikki's time is spent trying not to be stabbed in the back by the malicious hangers-on who frequent the mansion. But escaping memories of Gabe, much less his smoking-hot presence, is harder than expected-especially since he seems determined to be in Nikki's space as much as possible. Gabriel spent years beating himself up over his last encounter with Nikki. He'd wanted her then, but for reasons that were bad for both of them. Things have now changed. Gabe sees more than a girl he's known forever; he sees a smart, talented, and heartbreakingly beautiful woman ... one who's being stalked from the shadows. Now, Gabe will do anything to keep Nikki safe-and to stop the de Vincent curse from striking again.

Even a ghost hunter like Rosie Herpin couldn't have foreseen the fateful meeting between two mourners that has brought her so intimately close to the notorious and seductive Devlin de Vincent. Everyone in New Orleans knows he's heir to a dark family curse that both frightens and enthralls. To the locals, Devlin is the devil. To Rosie, he's a man who's stoking her wildest fantasies. When a brutal attack on her friend is linked to the de Vincent's, he becomes a mystery she may be risking her life to solve. Devlin knows what he wants from this sexy and adventurous woman. But what does Rosie want from him? It's a question that becomes more pressing-and more dangerous-when he suspects her of prying into the shadows of his past. Now, the legends surrounding the de Vincent's may not be myths at all. But if she's to discover the truth, she must follow them straight into the arms of the man she can't resist-the handsome devil himself.
