()
About this ebook
This is Episode 1 in the 5-Part Voodoo Love series. A Paranormal Romance Ghost Story.
Elizabeth knows what adventure is about, or at least she would if her memory would ever come back! She's been told that two years ago she was chased by a greedy thug who believed she knew the location to a cursed pirate treasure hidden deep in the sultry bayous of Louisiana. During the process of escaping, Elizabeth's lover and assassin for hire, Juan Carlos, drowned trying to save her. Though she now lives in a government arranged marriage in the small town of Barataria Bay, Elizabeth is struggling to remember the past, remember the danger, and most of all remember Juan Carlos, the dead Latino dreamboat who dragged her into the mess in the first place.
When Elizabeth's idyllic new life is interrupted by a ghostly visit from a still sexy Juan, she finds herself once again plunged into unwanted intrigue. With his help, her memory of the past begins to come back, along with her memories of their hot nights of passion.
With the help of a powerful voodoo queen, passion between the two is re-ignited. But the curse of Jean Lafitte's treasure is very strong. Can voodoo be used to lift the curse? Can their love be saved?
This is a story about voodoo magic, passion and love eternal that will not soon be forgotten.

Voodoo Love (And the Curse of Jean Lafitte’s Treasure) - Victoria Richards
Prologue
THEY CLUNG TO ONE ANOTHER, the waves pushing them up and down, while the brown waters of the Gulf of Mexico filled their mouths. Alive with fire, the water hissed on the oil of the crashed Coast Guard helicopter despite the pelting rain unleashed by the hurricane. The craft burned and spewed out misshapen parts, even as it sank below the choppy surface.
Hang on, Elizabeth,
the man shouted above the roar of the storm. Unsure if the woman plastered to his chest heard the words, he struggled to tread water, grateful for the orange life vest he'd put on before the helicopter went down. The pain in his arm and side increased, causing gray to gather at the edges of his vision.
Don't pass out. She needs you.
He shook his head, trying to clear his mind and get a better grip on what they were up against. The little locater beacon he’d strapped to his wrist blinked off and on, a strobe light adding to the hellishness of the scene as he moved his wounded, free arm. The life raft bobbed only a few yards away. If he could just get them to it...
The woman stirred, pulling her pale, scared face away from his chest to look up at him. Even in the storm, even with all they'd experienced, Elizabeth was still beautiful, and his heart contracted as their eyes met. She thought they were going to die. He could see the resignation in her. Guilt swamped the man, tugging at his conscience, threatening to pull him under just as the Gulf waves did. If he had made better choices, this wouldn’t be happening to her. She didn’t deserve to die in this little bay of water, caught between the entrance of the bayou plains of Louisiana and the saltwater of the Gulf of Mexico because he, Juan Montoya, had gotten sloppy.
Think, Juan, think.
