    About this ebook

    Ashley Quinn is fulfilling her dream of opening her own bookstore. In the heart of New Orleans, she finds the perfect location just off Bourbon Street, only to find the building is haunted by the ghost of the original owner, an 18th century notorious rake, Royce Kingston. Ashley has long-suffered haunting dreams of a young woman suffering incredible heartbreak, dreams that leave Ashley shaking and in tears on waking. When she learns she is the reincarnated woman from her dreams, it's up to her to break an ancient curse to save the man she'd loved so long ago, the same man who'd irreparably broken her heart-Royce!

    Royce Kingston lived a reckless life. Women were attracted to him and he did nothing to dissuade them. He enjoyed wild nights of fun and flirtatious but momentary romance. He'd broken many hearts, but that was part and parcel of the kind of man he'd been. But he'd broken the heart of the wrong woman. She put him in the place in which he now found himself existing. Ironically, she is the only woman who can save him. He must prove he's worth giving a second chance. But unable to tell Ashley how to break the curse, he could find himself trapped between worlds. And time is running out.

      DEDICATION

      To Georgia: Girl you’re a total hoot and I can’t tell you how thrilled I am that we’ve met! You’re always very positive and I can always be sure you’re going to make me smile or laugh out loud at least once a day. Thank you.

      To Meags: This story came to me when we were wondering around Bourbon Street and getting palms read, getting loaded, playing guards while sleeping on the floor for all of two hours before being forced to get up and evacuate and taking a long car ride to the airport with Don Harlequin. And guess what, I wouldn’t trade that trip in for anything! Wub you girl! Hopefully, we’ll have way more crazy adventures like this one again.

      THE TROUBLE WITH VOODOO

      CHAPTER 1

      I have not rented a haunted building, and I’m not dreaming about a man I have never met and can never love. Ashley Quinn muttered to herself as she once again placed the books back on the shelf. They seemed to fly off all by themselves.

      Why the idea of renting a haunted building should bother her was stupid. The building was perfect for her little used bookstore, Vieux Carré Books. If I say it often enough and loud enough I might just believe it. She blew hair out of her eyes, gazing around her little bookstore. She wasn’t sure exactly what she was looking for, but it compelled her to peer into the corners in search of . . . something. You’re losing your mind, girly.

      She blamed her anxiety on all the comments she’d received from the realtor who refused to even enter the building to show her the property and instead handed Ashley the keys and stood outside. Not only that, a psychic stopped her on the street to warn of the evil lurking in the shadows of her new venture. How was someone supposed ignore all that?

      She couldn’t. But despite the funky behavior of the realtor and the psychic, Ashley signed the contract and now she was good and stuck with a possibly haunted building.

      The original building had been the stately home of the much sought out New Orleans bachelor, Royce Kingston, who lived about two hundred years earlier. He was a dashing man in his time who was reportedly a lover who could have given Casanova a run for his money. His exploits were notorious and all his conquests said the same thing—once loved by Royce, a woman was ruined for any other man.
