DB King: The Dead Creole Club, Book One

A deal with the skeletal man has my temperature risin’, and it’s burning through to my soul...
As an Elvis tribute artist, the King’s music has not only been my life but my entire career. All that changed the night flames lifted higher and higher, turning my club to smoke and dreams to ash. In my lowest moment, a skeletal man appeared... and didn't bother with a disguise. We struck a deal that seemed too good to be true. Because it was. Heaven help me, I didn't see the cunning in his eyes. Elvis finds himself down in the underworld brought down by the loa of the dead who has a deal for the King of Rock and Roll. He's in trouble since he arrived. You’d almost think his middle name was misery. Now, the spirit of the King himself is trapped within me, leaving us no choice but to share my body. Our goals? To restore my singing voice and break him free from an eternity of performing in the Underworld.
With a little less conversation, and tons more action, can we find a way to work together for our mutual benefit? Or are we caught in a trap with no way to walk out? 

Aaron Jesse: The Dead Creole Club, Book Two

I couldn't help falling in love with her. Now Baron Semedi wants to take my whole life, too.

On stage, working as a tribute artist at the Dead Creole Club, I caught myself rubbernecking the beauty in the audience who came to my show night after night. If she were to love me tender, my life would be complete.

Then she vanished, leaving my heart filled with pain that she might never come back again.

When I learned a tragedy befell her, I do whatever it takes to help. After all, some things are meant to be. A deal with the skeletal man is made, that will forever change her fate... and mine.

Her ability to walk is restored, but she has no memory of me. Can I show her she was always on my mind? Or has our chance at sweet love died?

Robin Davis: The Dead Creole Club, Book Three

Wise men say, only fools rush in… but I fell for her the moment we locked eyes.

Then she fell into trouble of the most sinister kind when an unforeseen force stole her from me.

The burning love I held for her led me into a deal with a skeletal man who vows he can help me find her… for a price. His name is Baron Samedi and he wants to use me as a pawn in his chaotic games in the underworld. The soul of the Blue Suede-shoed music icon has been tied to mine and is all that is keeping me alive.

This whole mess has my world all shook up.

Can I save my love from a fate worse than death? Or will I spend eternity at the Heartbreak Hotel?
