 Series: Spirit of River Oaks: Book4 About the Series: The Spirits series revolves around the powerful Lenore, who often gets messages from those who have passed on from this world. About the Book: As her lover lay on the floor, smoke clinging to his attire, blood seeping from the cut on his hand, and a gaping hole ruining his expensive shirt, Belle just knew Beau would blame her somehow. But it was all a big misunderstanding, really. Madame Claudette, a gifted New Orleans fortune telling, warned Belle she needed to distance herself for her future husband or risk him coming to great harm. She disappeared to protect him, but Beauregard St. Pierre kept tracking her down. Now, even the River Parishes Psychic predicts lots of pain in their future, and somehow Belle knows the woman is referring to more than just Bella’s own sore backside. Can she protect her man from herself? Excerpt: “Do you really think I bullied you? Be honest.” Those piercing eyes didn’t miss a thing as he watched her. His words drew her attention and she almost felt like crying in frustration. Sighing in defeat, she turned away from him again. Beau continued speaking, not giving her a chance to build up another wall between them. “This is ridiculous, Belle. This whole situation is foolish. Come home with me and let’s put this whole thing behind us.” “I can’t and you know why,” she told him before rummaging through her cabinets and pulling out a small coffee maker. “Because you’re convinced you are going to harm me? I’m sorry, babe, but that’s bullshit!” “Madame Claudette had a vision. She’s never been wrong. Believe me, I prayed and prayed she was mistaken, but I can’t take a chance with your safety. I love you too much for that, Beau. I’d rather be miserable without you, knowing you are safe, than happily at your side and watch you be hurt.” A man can only take so much frustration when trying to reason with his lover. Beau had finally passed his threshold. “Talking is getting us nowhere. I am tired of trying to reason with you, Belle. You love me. I love you. We are getting married. Decades from now, I will enjoy telling our grandchildren how I had to chase their stubborn grandmother across the state until she finally realized she belonged at my side.” He glanced around the room for a suitable place to carry out his next plan of action. The coffee table and stool close to the microwave looked too flimsy to hold his frame, let alone both their weights. He had serious concerns about the sturdiness of the double bed, too. But the latter would have to make do. Grabbing her hand, he pulled Belle toward the frame.
