Flame Unleashed (Hell to Pay)
“Sunset brought a cool breeze that drew the scent of damp moss and dried leaves.
With the help of a few Indebted colleagues from Mobile and Memphis, Barnaby and their mortal friends would be watched over for the next few days. Odie’s fellow Indebted had taken kills in their home territories before speeding down here, so hopefully Jerahmeel wouldn’t know about the increased numbers of the Indebted in New Orleans.
When Odie had invited Ruth to his home, he didn’t think she’d agree. But even an Ind...ebted needed rest if he or she reached the limits of his or her emotional and physical strength. He could provide that rest for her. Watch over her.
Since when did he consider her to be something more than a pawn in his ultimate scheme?
He wasn’t prepared to answer that question. Best to concentrate on driving the hour to his home.
After the first hundred years of toiling in New Orleans, he’d amassed enough money to purchase a large property. The rundown plantation had been abandoned after the Civil War, and he spent many years and thousands of dollars restoring the crumbling big house to its current beauty.MoreLess
