New Orleans, 1889-where every note carries a secret and every sinner has a song. Esmé Baptiste was born with music in her blood and mischief in her soul. By day she sells perfume on Rue Chartres; by night she rules Le Chanson du Diable, the underground jazz club where her saxophone can make angels blush and devils dance. But Esmé's gift is more than talent-it's magic ... and it's dangerous. When a mysterious critic with a federal badge starts asking questions-and a charming man in white claims to be her father (the Devil himself)-Esmé is pulled into a duel between Heaven's order and Hell's temptation. With the Quarter thrumming around her and music being stolen straight from the air, she'll have to decide whom to trust, what to play, and how much of her soul she's willing to spend to keep New Orleans singing. Laced with voodoo, velvet, and the irresistible rhythm of jazz, Bourbon Street Blues is a spellbinding tale of love, rebellion, and the price of a woman finding her own voice in a city that never sleeps-because it's too busy dancing.
