New Orleans. The Big Easy. City of endless parties that celebrated life and death. The one thing Oracle Winchester needed to escape from when she left Interpol and the FBI. Death itself. She came back to New Orleans to start a new chapter. No more serial killers, rapists or human traffickers to hunt. She had eluded darkness and death over her short life but no matter where she went, it found her. In truth, it had never left. When the dark figure that stalked her in the light of day and monsters that plagued her nightmares collide, she must decipher what is real, what is fantasy and whether she could keep her darkest secrets buried. When Drake Blackthorne shows up out of the shadows and opens up parts of herself she had long since forgotten, she wonders if it was worth exposing her soul to him or would she lose everything to succumb to the hidden desires of her heart? 
Drake Blackthorne is a mystery to everyone including Oracle Winchester. Powerful businessman obsessed with a woman whom he had only one dance and a stolen kiss so long ago on a foggy Halloween night in the Crescent City. It invaded his every thought and waking moment until he could no longer stay away. The moment had arrived to finally possess Oracle but she wasn't the only one with a dark past and even darker secrets to keep buried. He could not keep himself from her as they draw closer to one another like two magnetic comets hurtling towards one another in outer space. He could ultimately be either her savior or her destructor as darkness and their love draw them closer, the shadowy figures of The Big Easy lay in wait to rip them apart and watch as their blood flowed through the streets of the French Quarter. You never truly escape the darkness, it always finds you.
