Never Say Good-Bye

By Eden West

It was a common practice for the villagers to run and hide their daughters whenever Jules Gallant and his best friend Armand "Beau" Beauchamp were in town - Troublemakers by trade and starving for adventure.

On his 25th Birthday, Jules opens a letter from his late father and learns of a long-lost bother. Taken by curiosity and newfound determination, Jules and Armand embark on a quest to find him. The spunky street girl Josette, who they'd grown up with insists on tagging along, but neglects to reveal her ulterior motive. Unbeknownst to Jules, Josette is in search for a love potion that will make him fall madly in love with her. Led deep into the swampy bayous of Louisiana, Josette meets a mysterious voodoo priestess who presents her with an amulet rather than a potion. The priestess warns Josette that the first man she looks upon will be her lover and that she must never remove the amulet. Feverishly clutching the amulet she wears about her neck, Josette rushes back in the dead of night to the lodgings she shares with the two young men. In the darkened room, she slips into one of their beds and proceeds to rouse her love from his slumber... but to her surprise, it is Armand's handsome face that stares back at her. In her precipitous flight, Josette unwittingly delivers herself into the hands of Jean Louie Lafitte, the infamous pirate buccaneer. Jean finds himself helplessly drawn to the strange young girl who is suddenly thrust into his life...

Follow the three young adventurers through pre-Civil War Louisiana as they stumble into a tangled web of voodoo magic, a pirate's haunt, and murder!
