The Darkest Waltz
It's 1927 and twenty-two-year-old Evangeline Ward rules the Georgia marshes as Queen of the Bootleggers. One night during a liquor drop, a rival bootlegger ambushes her gang and finds the secret tunnel to her stash. In just one night, her entire life is threatened to go up in flames.

Just when she thinks her empire may crumble, a strangely familiar man appears to offer her a deal. Weston Abernathy needs a wife to gain his inheritance and his family's company, Abernathy Railroad. Evangeline needs a place to live and hide her alcohol and the isolated island he calls home is perfect. Seizing the seemingly perfect opportunity, she hastily accepts his terms and his hand.

But dark whispers of curses follow them to the island. The odd deaths of Weston's family members and visions of a woman in the mansion's windows haunt Evangeline's steps to the altar. When Evangeline wakes to find dirt beneath her nails and a locket with another woman's picture in it, she begins to question her sanity—and the man she's slowly falling in love with.

Even as Weston's touch sets fire to her body and soul, dragging her further in, Evangeline begins to uncover the dark truth surrounding the Abernathy family and begins to wonder if this deal really was too good to be true.

About the Author

Ashley R. King is an English and Language Arts teacher whose love of the written word began when her mom took her to the public library, letting her check out stacks of books taller than she was. She earned a bachelor’s degree in English literature from the University of Georgia and a master’s degree from Valdosta State in Secondary Education with a specialization in English literature. When she’s not teaching or writing happily ever afters full of snark and swoon, she can be found on various adventures with her favorite person in the world—her husband—travelling, having putt-putt throw downs, or deciding what to eat for her next meal. She lives in a small town in Georgia with said adventure-buddy and husband, along with their sweet and very much spoiled cat, Cleo.
She is also the author of Painting the Lines, The Wilde Card, Forever After, and Night Race.
