About this book

A blood-bound bargain born in a New Orleans apothecary has set fate in motion. Drawn back to the city where her grandmother once traded power for survival, Amara is pulled into a world where darkness and power intertwine.

With every choice, she is pulled further into temptation—toward danger, desire, and the truth buried in her blood. Rivals lurk, secrets emerge, and she must confront who she is willing to become. To embrace Kane is to embrace her power—and surrender to his darkness.

Kane is the keeper of what bleeds through the cracks between the underworld and the mortal realm in Sombres Des Pécheurs. Torn between collecting a debt and tempting Amara with a desire for darkness, she just might be his undoing.

Sin & Shadows

February 14, 2026

Night has always been more honest than day\" While early in this book, this quote hit hard. So many of us feel the truth lies in the light, the day. But no, the truth lies in the shadows, in the dark when nobody is watching. Who has your back then? Who will protect you from whatever goes bump in the night? Do you want to be saved or do you want to become 1 with the shadows? Kane was promised a descendant years ago. Amara was always told she would find her powers when she needed them....

Shadow Daddy Awaits

This is a short, Dark Romantasy with some spice, magic, a sinful shadow daddy who most definitely falls first, what a shame, and then there's Amara, who at first seems a bit mousy until she meets her shadow daddy. One of my favorite quotes from the book is as follows: \"Mardi Gras is for the Living, Lent is for the Listening.\" There are many great quotes in this book, but this one I like because it reminds us of spiritual grounding and reflections, and many of us forget about this. I love this...

perfect!!!
