ACADIAN BLOOD: Book 4 of The Hollow

I read what people keep, and why. Fifteen years I killed beautiful lies for
money, never once suspecting I was the lie somebody built. Then a client
sent me across an ocean to unearth a family the water erased, and the woman
guarding them read me the way I read paper, entire, and did not look away.

Dorian Delacroix is the finest provenance hunter alive and a man on a
leash he cannot see, sent to a French island to reconstruct a bloodline cut
from the record a century ago by a burnished blade. He expects a registry.
He finds a keeper.

Aurore LeBlanc is the last of eleven generations who have guarded a
family’s paper against exactly the kind of man Dorian is, a reader good
enough to find the wound at the center of everything. She has spent her
whole life learning to keep the world out. She was never trained for the
one who walks past the softness with his hands behind his back.

He was built to take her family apart. She was built to bury it deeper. What
neither of them was built for is the truth waiting at the far end of the
hunt, the one that turns a hired blade and a locked keeper into the only two
people who can put a stolen name back into the light, if the wanting does
not get them killed first.

ACADIAN BLOOD is a full-length Southern Gothic dark romance, the fourth
standalone-couple novel in THE HOLLOW, running from a French island to the
Louisiana bayou across an ocean of kept secrets. For readers of Shantel
Tessier and Leigh Rivers who want obsession with an archive in it.
