I really enjoyed the different style of opening to this story.  The ill-gotten gains being hidden away - what has that to do with our story??

Welcome back to Bayou Mambaloa. The cutest, quirkiest and, it would seem, most dangerous small town in Louisiana!  Rafael aka Romeo, has been burned in love.  He gave up the career he loved for his sweetheart and she jilted him.  Now he loves the ladies but leaves them wanting more.  Gisele however, she doesn't hate men exactly -s she just doesn't trust them a whole lot!  Wither her ful mouthed, men hating parrot, she rules over her little Voodoo and potion shop.  But it seems that someone has it out for Gisele.

Rafael can't have that.  He's now on protector mode, whether feisty Gisele thinks she needs it or not.  The chemistry between these two is palpable and soon can't be contained.  Gisele wants to hate Rafael for his treatment of her cousin but she soon learns that situation is not all it's been painted.

Wooing a wary woman whilst trying to fend off cougars, biting parrots and a determined bad guy means Rafael has his work cut out for him!  Interfering friends/neighbours really needs to become a standard trope!
