Linda Joyce Releases BAYOU BECKONS

Charleston, SC

Party-girl and bayou babe Camilla Lind treats life like a game. After sleeping with her sister's fiancé, she's struggling to change, but karmic payback is a bitch. When the actions of her past crash into the present, they stand to ruin her future...and destroy any chance of love with the only man she's ever wanted.

Rancher Jared Richardson guards his heart carefully after suffering the pain of infidelity. He never expected to fall for a woman like Camilla Lind, nor did he think he'd follow her across the country to beg for a second chance at love.

As Hurricane Katrina bears down on them, can they weather the storm and put aside past hurts to embrace their future together?

The Wild Rose Press, Inc is pleased to see the Fleur de Lis series continue. "Linda Joyce paints an emotional story with Bayou Beckons," Rhonda Penders, Editor-in-Chief said. "She writes contemporary romances with engaging characters. Bayou Beckons, set against the drama of Hurricane Katrina will entertain readers." Penders said. "Linda writes characters to fall in love with."
