The Fire That Knows Her Name

The killer burns women beneath symbols meant to make New Orleans believe the old magic has turned murderous.

Dominique Chavelle knows better.

A criminal investigator and direct descendant of Marie Laveau, Dominique is called home to analyze a series of mutilated victims found inside carefully controlled fires. The scenes combine Voodoo imagery, Christian ritual, and the Seven Deadly Sins-but the display may be hiding an obsession far more personal than religion.

Ignatius Beauchamp is the firefighter who discovered the bodies. He is also the last heir to a plantation family shadowed by a centuries-old curse, violent dreams, and an ancestor who burned an enslaved woman alive.

Their attraction is immediate, explicit, and impossible to separate from the supernatural force gathering around them.

Then the killer marks Dominique's car.

He follows the couple to the Beauchamp estate. He leaves blood where they believed they were alone. And he begins calling Dominique his queen-the final sacrifice needed before Mardi Gras.

As the murders accelerate, Dominique must decipher the ritual pattern before another woman dies. Ignatius must control the darkness awakening inside him long enough to protect her. Together, they will discover whether the Beauchamp curse is real, whether the dead are warning them, and whether desire can become a weapon against the man watching from the flames.

Explicit, violent, atmospheric, and emotionally intense, The Fire That Knows Her Name is a dark paranormal romance featuring a New Orleans serial-killer investigation, occult staging, family curses, a firefighter hero, a powerful investigator heroine, graphic danger, and a complete romantic ending.
