Trouble in Mudbug

the long version

Maryse Roicheaux can't help heaving a sigh of relief at the news that her not-so-beloved mother-in-law has kicked the busket. The woman was rude, manipulative and loved lording over everyone as the richest citizen of Mudbug, Louisiana. Unfortunately, death doesn't slow Helena Henry down one bit. Being haunted--or more like harried-- by Helena's ghost isn't even the worst of Maryse's problems. Close to making a huge medical breakthrouhg, she's suddenly been given an officemate, and the only thing bigger than Luc LeJeune's ego is his sex appeal. Maryse would bet her life the hot half-Creole is hiding something. Especially because it seems someone's out to kill her. But ggetting Luc to spill his secrets while avoiding Helena's histrionics and staying alive herself will be the ultimate bayou balancing act.
