Moonlight Sins: A de Vincent Novel

This suspenseful, if occasionally overwrought, contemporary romance begins a series featuring the rich and powerful de Vincent family, which has long been haunted by tragedy. Troubled adult brothers Lucian, Gabriel, and Devlin still live in the palatial Louisiana family home. When Lucian’s twin sister, Madeline, who’d been missing for 10 years, reappears—barely conscious, for reasons no one can ascertain—and then patriarch Lawrence takes his own life, the brothers must confront unpleasant truths. Meanwhile, they hire warmhearted and straitlaced nurse Julia Hughes to take care of Maddie. Subterfuge on Lucian’s part gets their working relationship off to an uncomfortable start, but Julia is drawn to Lucian despite herself and eager to do what she can to help Maddie. Both emotional and erotic tension drive the narrative along at a quick pace. Sometimes the answers to various plot questions are less than satisfying, but the complex mysteries and slightly gothic atmosphere will keep readers coming back for more.
