Bayou Christmastime (Miss Fortune World: Bayou Cozy Romantic Thrills Book 13)
An extravagant Christmas in Lights is set to take place in Louisiana. When Fortune, Ida Belle, and Gertie realize large crowds are coming to the light show, they do what any other sleuth might do. They provide a rideshare option so they can vet the tourists in hopes of finding any potential threat.
Excerpt:
“I’m neither crazy nor without a car of my own, I’ll have you know.” She straightened her skirt. “I knew coming South was a bad idea.”
“I’m offended,” Gertie said.
“I assure you, you’re not alone in that feeling.” The woman looked at me as if she wanted me to break some sort of tie. “Well? You have nothing to say now?”
“I lived in DC so think of me as common ground.” I wanted to warn her about the scaly creature that just slivered away from the curb. If she walked in the grass, she might become a gator’s next snack.
“DC? How do you handle these people?”
I gritted my teeth. I was one insult away from giving this woman a piece of my mind.
“She’s not going to answer you,” Ida Belle said.
I shrugged. “Neutral ground.” I saw the gator move then and quickly reached for her. “You might want to walk on the other side of the road.”
“What do you think you’re doing?” Her eyes were wide. “I can manage by myself, thank you very much.”
“I hope you like company.” Ida Belle yawned. “Come on, Fortune. She isn’t our problem now.”
I wasn’t so sure about that, especially since her husband seemed like a man on a mission. “It would be safer if you’d let us take you to the lights.”
“Nothing could be more dangerous than riding around with the three of you.”
“Want to bet?” Gertie said, pointing at the scaly tale that slivered across the last bit of pavement.
She gulped. “What was that?”
“It isn’t a companion animal."
