Truth in the Treme
(2026)(The fourth book in the Bourbon Street Shadows series)
A novel by Amy Briggs and Heidi McLaughlin
Some fires leave more than ashes.
Bastien Durand has spent a century telling hauntings from bad wiring. So when fires start breaking out across New Orleans and witnesses swear the flames move wrong, he walks the scene and rules it out. No curse. No spirit. Just a very human arsonist.
Then Delphine breathes the smoke and collapses.
When she wakes, she remembers burning — a hundred years ago, in his arms.
Every fire after that opens another door. A home they built. A proposal he never got to make. And beneath it all, the truth Bastien has hidden since the day they met: he was never cast out of Heaven.
He fell on purpose. For her.
Now he has to choose — let her remember everything, or protect her from the one memory that could break her.
Some promises survive even death.
Genre: Urban Fantasy
