Crescent City Confidential - by Aurora Rey (Paperback)

About the Book

When romance and danger are in the air, writer Sam Torres learns the Big Easy is anything but.

Book Synopsis

Best-selling mystery writer Sam Torres loves jetting around the world, researching her next plot, and enjoying local culture, cuisine, and women. Her next stop: the Big Easy. Tess Arceneaux is a New Orleans native who likes life simple and uncomplicated. That includes shucking oysters for wealthy tourists and singing at the neighborhood bar--no pretense and no pressure.

When Sam saunters in looking for company in addition to dinner, she sets her sights on Tess. Although Tess is hardly inclined to get involved with a woman who's just passing through, Sam proves very persuasive. But when casual dates hint at something more, strange and sinister things ensue. Someone doesn't want them together and will go to extreme lengths to make her point. Will looming danger bring them closer or drive them apart for good?

About the Author

Aurora Rey grew up in a small town in south Louisiana, daydreaming about New
England. She keeps a special place in her heart for the South, especially the food and the ways women are raised to be strong, even if they're taught not to show it. After a brief dalliance with biochemistry, she completed both a B.A. and an M.A. in English.

When she's not writing or at her day job in higher education, she moonlights as a
baker and is slightly addicted to Pinterest. She loves to cook and dreams of a big
farmhouse in the country with a garden and some goats. She lives in Ithaca, New
York, with her partner and two dogs.
