She has no intention of letting a grumpy bayou hermit stop her from finding the treasure her great-grandmother left behind.
Remy Broussard has always been told to stay away from the bayou.
Her mother left the bayou years ago and refuses to talk about the life she abandoned, the voodoo magic she once embraced, or the family she left behind. But when Remy discovers a treasure map hidden inside her great-grandmother Rheims Renquiest's old diary, curiosity gets the better of her.
Determined to unlock the secrets of her voodoo priestess great-grandmother, for whom she's named, Remy heads to the bayou without telling her parents exactly why she's going.
What she doesn't expect to find is Cork Renoir. Nor the instant attraction she feels.
The disillusioned jazz musician bought the island where the infamous voodoo priestess once lived because he wanted peace, quiet, and solitude. When his father ropes him into babysitting for a sassy little treasure hunter who gets under his skin the minute he lays eyes on her, the peaceful summer he was looking forward to quickly disappears
As old rumors resurface and the treasure map and diary are stolen, Cork realizes that Remy is in real danger. Between ghostly apparitions and non-stop visitors, it becomes clear that someone is willing to stop her from finding her great-grandmother's secrets.
But in the bayou, the dead don't always stay buried... and neither do their secrets.
