Rafael - Elle James

A jilted groom turned heartbreaker...

Navy SEAL Rafael Romero left the military to marry his high school sweetheart, but when she stood him up at the altar, he became distrustful of women. After a stint as a mercenary, he joins Bayou Brotherhood Protectors in Louisiana. Cursed with good looks, he dates but never commits. Rejecting a persistent woman ignites the wrath of her Voodoo-practicing family. Rafael doesn't believe in magic-or love-but he's about to be proven wrong.

A gift shop owner with a fowl-mouthed sidekick...

Gisele Gautier, granddaughter of Bayou Mambaloa's resident Voodoo queen, runs a gift shop filled with natural remedies and Voodoo souvenirs. After her cousin is publicly shamed, Gisele vows to teach Rafael a lesson by making him fall in love with her, only to reject him and show him how it feels. But when her business and home are targeted by those who want her gone, Gisele has no choice but to turn to Rafael for help.

The bayou's magic could lead them to a treasure neither expected-love...
