Mandy Rose…vulnerable, scared, clearly in big trouble. No match for the men who would do her harm. All her money and status don't matter in dark and dangerous New Orleans. Yet here she is…and all alone.
Clyde Boudreaux, more than capable, meets his nemeses in the bowels of NOLA also. Yet he perseveres. Battered and bloody, he refuses to give up. He continues the perilous journey to find Mandy Rose. Growing up poor and Black in rural Louisiana gives him the armor he needs to toss off the vicious attacks. He's a survivor. He watched his grandfather get lynched, twisting on the end of a rope naked…with his shoes still on. Clyde inherited the amulet from him that gives him power. But is it enough?
Clyde's thirst to find and save his daughter's mother must be satisfied. Mandy Rose must live. He now knows what it is to love. But is it too late for Mandy? Or has insanity claimed her?
And horror of horrors, is it too late to save Hannah?
