Gomer and Gloria Hollowman host a long awaited steakhouse grand opening with a seasonal haunted house. With Gomer's shocking announcement and unexpected guests, the festive week holds more than a few astonishing surprises. Unfortunately, someone is awaiting the perfect time to show his face, and Wasteland will never be the same as Ida Belle, Fortune, and Gertie uncover a murder mystery that isn't what it seems.

Gomer Hollowman hosts a bayou Christmas party with plans to propose to the new woman in his life, but when an unexpected guest shows up with plans of his own, the festivities take a twisted turn. Meanwhile, Fortune, Gertie, and Ida Belle are left to defend the Hollowman family while a criminal's legacy is shattered beyond repair. Bayou Christmas Eve is the 17th installment in the Bayou Cozy Romantic Thrills series and follows Bayou Christmas Elves.

The Daigle men are back in town and Gomer Hollowman has cause for concern. After Deputy Arceneaux disappears, Gomer takes matters into his own hands. Unfortunately, his actions leave everyone in a volatile predicament, one which will require all hands on deck. With Swamp Team 3 ready for action, Gertie, Ida Belle, and Fortune realize time is of the essence and there's only one place they can turn.

Unlikely Suspects… When a former Sinful resident turns up dead in Fortune Redding's backyard, Deputy Carter LeBlanc springs into action, but Fortune can't help but wonder about his motives. Is Deputy Charming afraid a killer will strike again and she'll become the next victim or is he trying to keep her away from the new man in town? Motivated Killers… Now considered an assassin-in-hiding thanks to an unfortunate stiletto scandal, Fortune has a nice price on her head and unlikely hitmen are in the killing game. With a borrowed identity and new place to call home, Fortune soon discovers Sinful isn't as it seems. Since her Louisiana arrival, the former agent has been involved in one murder investigation right after the next. And things are about to get a lot worse for Fortune and a few of her closest friends. 

Looking forward to Christmastime, Gertie, Ida Belle, and Fortune decorate for the highly anticipated reopening of Wasteland Steakhouse, but when several bad boys interrupt their bedecking, goals change. And Deputy Charming soon finds himself all tied up in a corrupt bounty hunter's twisted agenda.

Swamp Team 3 is called to the Louisiana bayou to collect a corpse, but somewhere along the way, their mission changes. Once they meet a brilliant child with detailed information about unsavory characters, Fortune, Ida Belle, and Gertie face some tough decisions that are guaranteed to linger for many months to come.

This Easter, Celia Arceneaux is holding a Louisiana picnic and everyone is invited. Fearful of what they might miss, Ida Belle, Fortune, and Gertie plan for an enjoyable day. Under the pretense of courteous Sinful neighbors, the women arrive with baked goods in tow, vowing to remain on their best behaviors. Unfortunately, someone else is watching with deadly goals in mind.

An unexpected proposal sets the stage for disappointment as Jax Daigle prepares to explain away his truest motives for being in Wasteland, Louisiana. Meanwhile, Fortune, Ida Belle, and Gertie grow closer to Elle Daigle, but are they days away from solving the mystery surrounding Jax Daigle or have they become part of a more sinister plan?

There's a new agent in town and she's determined to turn Louisiana upside down. While Agent Harrison takes a Christmas vacation, Agent Pretty stirs all sorts of trouble. And those closest to Fortune could represent an imminent threat
