The Taking
by Erin McCarthy

Nearly a century ago, Felix Leblanc made a deal with the demon of greed. Now he's the most celebrated and powerful voodoo priest in New Orleans, able to enchant anything he wishes from wealthy, beautiful women. Until one client—beautiful and dangerous—brings his reign to a disastrous end, condemning Felix to servitude and a loveless eternity of never being wanted for himself...

New Orleans, now. Heiress Regan Henry knows that passion can be an illusion, and she keeps her emotions in check—until she falls under the spell of the beguiling Felix LeBlanc. He knows that the rumors that her mansion is haunted are true, and that he's the only one who can save her from the spirits residing there. But the only way he can do it is to sacrifice his last chance at redemption...or risk a love that could consign them both to an eternity of evil.
