Bitter Bayou - by Kailee Saunders (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

She came to uncover his family's secrets.

Finding love-and a murderer-was never part of the plan.

Maren Sharpe will do anything to keep her career alive-even betray the people who hired her. Her latest assignment: write the biography of Louisiana's most powerful family and expose the secrets hidden behind their fortune. But Cade Thurstan, the infuriatingly charming heir, is determined to keep her out of his past.

Cade doesn't want his story told, and he certainly doesn't want a fiery brunette digging through his family's secrets, invading his home, and disrupting his every thought. But when Maren uncovers evidence that his mother's death wasn't an accident, he joins her search for the truth.

Now, as a decades-old mystery unravels and danger closes in, Maren and Cade must decide who they can trust-before the secrets they uncover cost them their lives.

Bitter Bayou is a medium-heat romantic suspense novel. Perfect if you enjoy playful banter, thread-snapping tension, and open-door intimate scenes.
