Crescent City Sin by Nola Nash In the Crescent City, darkness blurs the lines between sinners and saints.Having been brought back through the veil after her death, Zolie wakes to find she's being cared for by the mother superior. Secrets are slowly revealed as Mother Micheaux explains her connection to the past Zolie's father kept hidden all her life. Once her strength has returned, Zolie tries to ease back into her home and life without Louis, but soon finds herself helping a young man who mistakenly shows up at her house looking for his long-lost mother. Feeling compassion for the young man who is far from his home in France, she and the Marchon girls attempt to help him locate his mother while making him feel welcome.Julien, the young man, finds himself strangely drawn to Zolie and slowly loses his heart to her, but his feelings aren't returned when Zolie makes a new discovery that changes her life once more. Jilted, Julien unleashes his grief in the form of magical power he didn't know he had and finds comfort in the friendship of a local madame. Out of control and angry, he succumbs to the darkness inside of him and the taunting voice of a raging spirit hungry for revenge. Can Zolie and her magical menagerie pull Julien back from the edge of hell, or will the past take them all down? Walk down the gritty dark streets of 1830s New Orleans where the line between sinner and saint is as blurred as the line between life and death. 30
