Old Louisiana and mansions - they go together like latte and beignets on the banks of the Mississippi. For Louis Beekman, his inheritance is a challenge and a delight, since Love Alley is a prime example of early architecture and he plans to restore it to its former glory. He didn't count on it already being occupied - by things he sooo doesn't believe in. No, sir. Not him.
Cory Lavalle has the "sight" and when Louis calls, she goes to Love Alley to help him understand the forces at work in his new home. Together they find adventure and mystery along with an explosive mutual attraction. Hand in hand, they step back into the past and learn secrets long hidden, enticed by the heat of Old Louisiana, where lovers were parted and the future is only a kiss away.
Is their newfound love strong enough to send lost spirits to their final rest? Will those playful specters stop moving Louis's toolbox around? What's with those twins? And above all, can desire finally silence the Whispers in the Dark...?
They're sassy, sexy and sporting tiaras. They're also raucous, ribald, and outrageous when they get together for goblets of mead and an afternoon's bitching. You know their names—they rose to fame as heroines who sought their Happily-Ever-Afters. And found them.
Of course, Happily Ever After is actually anywhere from eternity to three months and an annulment, if you've got a good lawyer and were smart enough to get a pre-nup. These six Princesses are just regular gals beneath the tulle and diamonds and they love to dish the dirt. When Aurora gets a publishing contract, they all decide to reveal the truth behind those beloved fairy tales; the lace gloves come off and the delicate fantasies are ripped away, revealing the shocking facts, the sexy adventures and the erotic passions beneath the surface.
It's down and dirty in a royal sort of way, complete with Princes who aren't so charming, blacksmiths, porn stars and bean stalks. Not to mention seven vertically challenged dudes, a guy with squeaky slippers and a pair of binoculars...well, you'd better read it and find out. But be warned...these words will never have quite the same meaning....

When Louis Beekman inherits a run-down Louisiana plantation, he takes up residence and begins working on it, only to realize he's not the only spirit living there. Louis needs help - of the psychic kind - and Cory Lavalle is the answer to his problems. She's also the answer to his dreams, but before he can fully enjoy the present, the two of them must find a way to fix the past. They give "laying ghosts" a new meaning...
Excerpt ~
ADULT CONTENT
The door swung open almost immediately, and Cory found herself face-to-face with one of the best-looking men she’d seen in quite some time. Longish dark hair brushed his shoulders, and he wore nothing more than a rather snug pair of well-worn cutoffs with an open waistband. She didn’t get chance to check out much else though, since as soon as he laid eyes on her he silently mouthed the word “help” and took her in his arms.
“What’s your name?” He whispered the question under his breath.
“Er…Cory.” She had to think for a minute.
“Cory…sweetheart…I can’t believe you’re here. At last. I’ve missed you so much.” He pulled her close, an intriguing fragrance of man and sawdust encompassing her. Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed a blonde almost wearing a bikini and staring at them with her mouth open. Cory had little time to evaluate the situation, however, since a firm hand slipped to her chin and turned her face upward. “I don’t think I could’ve lasted another day without my fiancée at my side.”
Stunned, Cory stood there as this lovely man proceeded to kiss the crap out of her.
There was no delicate foreplay…this was an open-your-mouth-and-get-ready-to-fuck type kiss. Tongues twined, interplaying with a suddenly dexterous skill, astounding Cory. He tasted of sweet man and tart lemonade with a hint of toothpaste, a seductively unique flavor.
She found herself breathless, not so much from the unexpected assault on her lips as from the sensation of rising desire billowing up from her toenails to her eyebrows, and swamping her with a passionate heat the likes of which she’d never envisioned in her wildest sexual fantasies.
Her brain swirled and shut down conscious thought, leaving her adrift in a sea of visions mostly involving her and him and a lot of naked skin.
She felt her hands move over his arms to his shoulders and his neck, fingers digging into his muscles and finally twining through his damp hair. He groaned a little, deep in his throat, a sound which echoed within Cory. She pressed herself against him as his hold on her tightened.
They were flame to kindling, cock to pussy. Super heating, approaching-the-red-line pussy. If the kiss went on for one minute more, Cory was going to forcibly strip him and fuck him right there with the front door open and the sun shining on them, mosquitoes be damned.
As her wits gathered up their panties from the floor of her mind, Cory realized she was in the arms of the new owner of Love Alley. The man who had requested her help.
Before she succumbed once more to the lure of his kiss, she realized something else, too.
He had unusual eyes. One was blue, and the other was grey.

Does Real Love every die?
In this story we start off learning about Claudine, a beautiful madam of the best New Orleans bordello in the early 1800's. Claudine is in love with Baptiste, this is a forbidden love for the times they live in, but a love that can not be denied even in death.
Jump ahead 200 years to present day - Louis Beekman inherits a house from his grandfather. Well house really doesn't do this 1800's New Orleans Plantation called "Love Alley" any justice. Although it is broken down and in need of lots of repairs, Louis can't help but be drawn to it and its history - back in its heyday it was known as a brothel with a wild past.
Louis sets out on restoring this place back to it's old beauty, but while doing so he is interrupted by lots of very interesting...things =) Some of which Louis is so unsure of how to handle so he contacts physic Cory Lavalle to help him.
Cory Lavalle has a link to this place - she is a direct descendant from Claudine and has been told stories while growing up about this place. Once Cory arrives she knows that she needs to be there. There is a mystery here that is screaming at her, something that she and Louis need to solve - TOGETHER.
I really enjoyed this book; this wasn't a book that grabbed me from the first page, but after the first chapter... I was in and, once in, I didn't want out until I was completely and thoroughly done. I absolutely loved the characters—Louis - a strong, sexy, funny, laid back kind of guy. Cory - somewhat of a loner it seemed, physic, knows what she wants kinda girl. Oh but it's not just these two characters I loved–Oh no! Watch out for Honey, Maurice (yummy), and I can't forget the twins =) All these characters along with those sexy N'Awlins accents *shivers* can't help but just love it.
While this book scorches up the pages with it's steamy hot sex scenes it also delivers on a wonderful love story. Sahara Kelly and SL Carpenter have once again created an amazing book. When I think of these two authors together you get
Sahara Kelly - the proper lady who knows how to be very naughty and creative +
SL Carpenter - the every so comical handy man who likes getting his hands (maybe even a little more than just his hands) dirty =
