Heaven Help Me (Southern Charm #3)

Heaven, Mississippi, isn’t big enough for a lifelong confirmed bachelor and the woman who once stabbed him and got away with it. At forty, Deuce St.

Legare is living a life that would make a saint nod in approval: successful model, owner of a high-end men’s boutique, and the town’s most confirmed bachelor (emphasis on committed to staying single).

He walked away from his mother’s crime empire years ago, traded chaos for calm, and keeps his halo polished by taking care of his ailing father.

Then his estranged mother—straight from the devil’s guest list—shows up with an offer he can’t refuse. Hide someone. No questions asked. Big payout. Cue the heavenly choir screeching to a halt.

Because the “someone” is Valentina Ricci. His former adopted sister. His one-night mistake from two decades ago.

The woman who slept with him, then stabbed him, prompting Deuce to turn his back on all things mob related. Now she’s back, on the run, and living under his roof.

Testing his patience—and his self-control. She’s still dangerous. Still infuriating. Still the last woman on earth he should trust. Unfortunately, she’s also not the fallen angel he thought she was.

She makes him feel like failing this mission might be worth it.

With enemies closing in, secrets piling up, and temptation knocking louder than the local church bells on Sunday morning, Deuce is about to learn one hard truth: even in Heaven, sinners don’t stand a chance when it comes to love.
