In the humid bayou heat of St. Francisville, Louisiana, Billy Arceneaux is the charming, trigger-happy fixer for a trafficking network hidden behind Grace Eternal Church. He runs errands with a gun and a grin, cleaning up messes no one else will touch - until the complications start piling up.

Emily "Dice" Dumont has been in his bed (and under his skin) for years. Sharp-tongued bartender by night, future lawyer by day, she's the only one who can make Billy kneel. Literally and figuratively. Their relationship is raw, addictive, and filthy.

But when a mysterious Texan arrives asking questions about "belief," old secrets from the church's dark underbelly threaten to drag everything into the light. Billy's world of blood and numbers is cracking, and what's worse - he gets a text message from an unknown number. A name and a price. Judah Beaumont, 350K.

There are no easy answers in this. In St. Francisville - love isn't sweet. Life isn't simple. It's a loaded gun, a knife at the throat, and a bounty on a best friend's head.
