Terri Mitchell is on loan to the New Orleans police department, trying to bust a drug ring Joe suspects of funding terrorism. But when members of that ring begin meet with a series of bizarre accidents, she becomes suspicious, especially when rumors of a ghost reach her. She doesn't believe in the paranormal, but an eerie encounter with a phantom leaves her shaken.

Most of all, it leaves her beguiled and intrigued. She has to get to the bottom of an investigation that takes a deadly turn at every corner. Is this phantom really a spirit conjured up from the depth of the bayou, or a man set on a course of vengeance? The search for that answer puts her life in jeopardy when faced with exposing the worlds and plans of powerful people behind an unconscionable attack against innocent citizens.

But to do so, Terri will have to also expose her phantom's black past that will destroy him…and any future with a man who has captured her heart and soul with his dark passion.
