River Road

Historical Interracial Gothic Romance

De: R.C. Matthews

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

Their love is forbidden... by the color of their skin, their haunted pasts, and the dark secrets they both carry.

Charles Moore, known as the notorious pirate Hatchet, has lived a life of danger and regret. His past is riddled with sins, and whispers of a curse cast by New Orleans’s legendary Voodoo Queen, Marie Laveau, have haunted his family for years. Desperate for a way to lift the curse, Hatchet seeks out the mysterious Creole widow, Hope Leblonc.

Hope is a woman who has been forced to live in the shadows. The oppressive Black Codes of New Orleans have stripped her of her freedoms, and she is forced to practice her voodoo in secrecy. When Hatchet offers her a chance to lift the curse, she agrees—on one condition: he must steal back a sacred family relic that will allow her to become a mambo, a powerful priestess in her religion.

But as they join forces, both are hiding dangerous secrets that could shatter everything. As ghosts from the past rise to exact their revenge, Hope and Hatchet must confront the skeletons in their closets—secrets that threaten their lives and the fragile bond they’re beginning to form.

In a world divided by race and ruled by vengeance, can love survive the storm of hatred and power that surrounds them?

River Road is the third book in the Tortured Souls Gothic Romance series, though it can be enjoyed as a stand-alone. If you crave intense, forbidden love, strong-willed heroines, and swashbuckling heroes with hidden tenderness, this darkly romantic adventure is for you.
