Crescent City Nocturne (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798276359625)

Scarlett Blackmore wasn't looking for love-or ghosts. Fresh off a failed romance and a stalled career, she lands in New Orleans chasing nothing more than a change of scenery. But a chance encounter in a jazz club leads her to Julien, a charming, disoriented young man with a vintage soul and a strange suggestion: buy the anonymous record in the plain sleeve.

What begins as a lark turns surreal when the record transports them to a smoky jazz club in the 1920s. As Scarlett digs deeper into Julien's fragmented memories, she uncovers a forgotten legend: Esmeralda, a Romani studio owner rumored to be a witch, obsessed with a trumpet player named Julien-and a mysterious woman named Scarlett.

With each record they uncover, the spell binding Julien begins to unravel. But time is slippery, and love may not be enough to bridge the decades. As Scarlett races to solve the puzzle before the final note plays, one question remains: can she save Julien from a curse rooted in obsession, or will history repeat itself?
