Bayou Brides

Fleur de Lis Series – Book 4

Nola Dutrey is as dedicated to her singing career as she is to her kids’ community band in New Orleans. However, when she meets her best friend’s brother, her heart beats with a newfound passion. But falling in love with someone whose life is in New York has no future.

Restaurateur Rex Arceneau is home only to settle his father’s estate. He needs the financials in the black before handing over the family restaurant to his sister. To reduce expenses—the weekend singer must go! Then he meets Nola. Their connection sizzles, and when she sings, he’s hooked.

Nola’s torn between powerful attraction and life in New Orleans. Rex is determined to use music as a secret weapon to entice Nola north. Will she ever be a bride at Fleur de Lis? Or will life’s dissonant notes ruin any chance of a once-in-a-lifetime love?

What My Readers Are Saying

“Another 5 star book from Linda Joyce! I have read several of her books and she never disappoints. Linda paints a vivid picture of the South and the unique culture that is Louisiana. Her characters are deeply relatable. The estate, Fluer de Lis, is both the beautiful centerpiece of every story and a character in it’s own right.”

“In Bayou Brides, Linda Joyce brings to life all the things that draw me to New Orleans. Bourbon Street, beignets, Street cars, music and LOVE, Linda leaves me longing for more of Nola, Rex and New Orleans! I can’t wait to see what a Linda has in store for the characters of Bayou Brides.”

“Truly amazing read! This author has a unique writing style that draws you into the story. The characters have great depth and determination throughout the storyline, but there is also a vulnerability that pulls at your heart. The attraction between Nola and Rex is undeniable, can they overcome the obstacles and find true love? Don’t miss this incredible read!”
