BLURB:
The only thing darker than the waters of the Louisiana bayou are the secrets it holds. I’d know—I’ve buried more than a few myself.
She was supposed to be one of them.
I was the boy who never had a chance, an orphan recruited by the devil himself, until the family I never knew gave me something to live for.
Then my brother brought her home—the rich politician's daughter, a real-life fairytale princess who had no place in our world. We were oil and water, and making her leave became my mission, 'til the little tag-along ended up in my passenger's seat driving cross-country. That's when we discovered a common thread... something that ran soul deep. Something hard to resist.
But no one I cared about was safe, and when she left, I made her promise never to come back.
Turns out, she lied.
Now the devil who claimed my future wants her, as well, and when I’m faced with a choice, who will come out alive?
The demons who own me?
The family who loves me?
Or the girl I wasn't supposed to fall for?
Only the bayou knows...
And its secrets die here.

It's a mesmerizing tale of love between two broken characters stuck in their personal quagmire of circumstances.
Chelley takes time to painstakingly mold these characters and their motivations. Why they behave how they do, their warped reasoning behind it and the resulting consequences all woven masterfully in the backdrop of sludge filled Bayou that's as mysterious as it is dangerous.
"Looks like a fairytale turned nightmare. "
There resides Silas Montgomery, a wilder bros henchman and evil doer. His life is pretty much on survival mode morn-to -night. Every day he's over the ground is a day well spent.
His brother Grady brings home a surprise guest, Ivy Summer and she manages to irk and frustrate him from the moment his eyes land on her dancing in his kitchen.
"unrequited love, his soul mate, and my arch-nemesis."
The story opens and ends in the Bayou. It's vast and enormous belly has devoured many a bodies and zipped it's mouth shut on the secrets.
Frances guards their home hidden in weeds. Skeletons past reside under creaking stairs. The bayou has eyes hidden in the trees, in the rickety boats and murky depths that is home to predators waiting for fresh meat
“That’s the beauty of this place. Whatever happens here, the bayou won’t never tell...and neither will I.”
A monstrous secret ties Ivy & Silas to each other permanently. Their love makes them brave, though Ivy's courage is in complete submission, Silas's courage is in sacrifice.
But things don't work out in the way they had both hoped and when the "leery spider" comes to trap and bite the "butterfly" the "Moth prince" has to gear up for the savage battle.
Chelley builds up the passion up to the point that I needed a breather. Esp ch 19 was dripping with palpitating lust and need. Breathless energy danced across the pages, building the crescendo higher and higher till the orgasmic firworks between the characters just exploded with sheer intensity.
I needed to get a cigarette after reading the scene in the RV, for crying out loud!!.
But the emotions and feels, the slow burn, all in equal measures embellish the story in vibrant colours.
Sublime & dynamic, it's the perfect balance of angst, heart, and RV-rattling sex which will tear your heart out by the time it ends.
