Burned out by her career and failed marriage, Joy’s life precariously hangs on by a thread. When her boss gaslights her into attending an antebellum wedding in Louisiana, she quickly finds out there is more to the restored plantation than its dark history.

Feeling lost at the bank of the bayou, she’s met with a peculiar message from the Universe…

Joy’s story is far from over.

Thrown headfirst into a different Louisiana–back when gunslinging was a sport, and the color of her skin could get her killed—she’s forced to face her inner demons.

And when a fearless stranger saves Joy from sudden death, he teaches her that actions speak louder than words...by hook or by crook.
