BROOKS

My name is Brooks Peterson, and I’m doing something I never thought I’d do. I’m going to war with my father.

Dominick Landry, Dear Old Dad, has been an underworld boss for years, but he doesn’t make his money from guns, drugs, or even shipping. He deals in girls. And he’s not choosy about where they come from… or where they go.

I’ve known about it for years, but never had the power I needed to fight him. Now I do. I have Lucien Boudreaux, who’s agreed to team up with me and bring his army, to save those girls and take my father down.

The problem is, Lucien is also the man my father tried to force me to marry. He’s my first love, and the only guy I’ve ever actually fallen for.

And I’m not sure we can work together with it getting messy.

LUCIEN

Brooks Peterson. The girl I thought I was going to marry, and the only girl who’s ever wrapped me around her little finger.

She asked for help once before, and I agreed. And now that she’s home, asking for help again…

I’m not going to refuse her.

That doesn’t make this simple. I’ll have to fight my own family to do what Brooks is asking, rally my most trustworthy men, and put them in a situation that might kill them. We’ll have to descend into a world no man or woman should ever see, and then come out of it alive.

With the girls we’re trying to rescue.

I know we can do it. I have faith in my men. But working so closely with Brooks again, when I’m already burning with the need to make her my own…

Falling in love with her is a bad idea, and I should know better. She’s left me before.

The problem is, I don’t think I care. I want her. I’ve wanted her for years. And this time, I don’t plan to let her escape.

I’ll help her with her mission. I’ll get her out of there alive. And then I’m going to tell her how this all ends: With her in my bed, and a contract that will keep her in New Orleans for the rest of her life.

Pursuit is the first book in the New Orleans Rogues: Boudreaux series, and is gothic mafia romance that includes themes of trafficking, conspiracy, and murder. The book is full of adventure, angst, dark romance, and spice, and will make you want a Lucien Boudreaux (or Brooks Peterson) of your very own!
