Masquerade Mayhem- a standalone Mardi Gras novella coming February 10, 2026!
Ivey Bourdeaux has it all. . .
Dream job. Perfect apartment in the heart of New Orleans. Amazing friends.
What more could she want?
The Masquerade Mardi Gras ball was supposed to be a fun night where Ivey let loose and forgot about her demanding job as the New Orleans Oysters lead reporter. That all changed when she stumbled upon a mystery man who sparks her interest for the first time since her messy divorce. Little does she know, he happens to be the newly traded point guard to the team she works for. They were both more than happy to play a little game of anonymity for the night, but when they both seek each other’s identity, things get complicated.
Monroe Waters needs to rediscover his passion. . .
Being an NBA star comes with a lot of responsibility and hard work. On the brink of burnout and a mid-life career crisis, Monroe gets traded to one of the worst teams in the league–the Oysters. Instead of letting the move break him, he uses it as his fresh start to reinvent himself. When he meets an intriguing mystery girl at the Mardi Gras ball his agent forced him to attend, he realizes that New Orleans may be the move he’s been needing to create the life he’s always wanted.
When Ivey and Monroe reveal each other’s identities, will they become Mardi Gras royalty or crash and burn in the process?
