Cursed In Love

Mila
Respect death and it will respect you.
Those were my mother's last words, but she's not the one called to crime scenes full of pissed-off spirits demanding justice. I'm a sensible homicide detective. Conversations with dead people were never in my job description. Then a string of murders rock the French Quarter, dredging up a dark force wanting one thing...

Me.
I'm in over my head.
Unfortunately, help comes in the form of Odyn Broussard, a cranky, condescending pain in my ass. I've always heard it's best to fight fire with fire. If that's true, Odyn and I are about to ignite an inferno.

Odyn
I'm retired.
That's what I should've told the pushy brunette who showed up on my doorstep demanding my help. Now, I'm fighting in a world I swore to never return to with a woman who claims she doesn't believe in our gift.

Against my better judgment, I'll train and protect her, but I won't give in to this dangerous attraction.
I'll never make that mistake again.
I have to choose between protecting Mila or driving her into darkness. One will win the battle, and one will end the war.

But there can only be one survivor.
