In Kiss Them Goodbye, New York Times bestselling author Stella Cameron returns to Toussaint, Louisiana, where sinuous cypress trees reach across the bayou to shade opaque waters from the relentless sun . . . But the shadows hide a dark and deadly danger. Just weeks after inheriting Rosebank, a once-magnificant plantation on the banks of the Bayou Teche, David Patin died in a mysterious fire that destroyed his popular New Orleans restaurant. In the aftermath, his daughter Vivian and wife, Charlotte, are shocked to discover that the family finances are as run-down as their only remaining asset -- Rosebank. With her degree in hotel management and her mother's restaurant expertise, Vivian Patin decides to restore the family fortunes by turning the lushly overgrown and decaying Rosebank into a resort hotel with all the sultry charm of old Louisiana.
