01 - Bayou Babes - Riley Blake: Known for stirring up trouble and making moonshine, Gertie and Ida Belle are anything but boring old maids. Their Southern charms and reputations have earned these icy-blue haired ladies considerable notice. After a bestselling book series rocks the entertainment world, Hollywood comes to call in search of the women who inspired such a great work of literary fiction. Ida Belle and Gertie set out on a journey to find the traitor who is selling their stories and making a mint. Celia Arceneaux, a likely suspect, is a frontrunner but the culprit is a little closer to home. And CIA Agent-in-Hiding Fortune Redding will have no other choice but to trust Gertie and Ida Belle as they race against time to protect Fortune’s cover and keep her out of the limelight and a gunman’s sights.

02 - Bayou Bubba - Sam Cheever: Miss Felicity Chance’s father is missing, and her sexy PI Calford Amity thinks he’s found him. Together, they follow a trail of gold coins to a turd-scented island in Sinful, Louisiana, where a dead homeless guy just might be her father. Can Felicity and Cal navigate the muddy waters of Sinful personalities to find the truth? Can Ida Belle and Gertie stop arguing long enough to help? Will Felicity figure out where she's seen Fortune before? Or will she chicken out when Fortune gives her gator-eye? It all boils down to one dead homeless guy...and a lot of nosy, opinionated townspeople living along the Louisiana Bayou.

03 - Bloodshed In The Bayou - Leslie Langtry: DNR Agent Margaret Ancelet enjoys the quiet life in Sinful - dodging her socialite twin, Peggy Sue, visiting her crazy mother in Mudbug, and trolling the bayou for illegal activity. Life is good until the father who abandoned her as an infant turns up dead in the swamp. Who else can help her but Ida Belle, Gertie and Fortune? And they've got their work cut out for them as they try to solve two mysteries - who Hugo Ancelet really was, and who killed him?

04 - Body In The Bog In The Bog - J. L. Johnson: What is it with this town and bones? Fortune Redding can't believe her bad luck in discovering bones, human bones. Fortune already knows Ida Belle and Gertie, founding members of the Sinful Ladies Society, are knee-deep in secrets, but she's about to find out exactly how stubborn they can be.
They refuse to tell her anything about the body in the bog, except that it's a secret they've kept for over 40 years. With the two of them unwilling to to tell her anything, Fortune must discover the secret surrounding these particular bones and the reason the mystery needs to remain hidden. Because where better than Sinful, Louisiana for a mystery of such magnitude to remain hidden all these years? And who better to keep it hidden than the remarkable women of the Sinful Ladies Society?

05 - Bubba Dub Dub - Sam Cheever: Felicity Chance returns to Sinful looking for a message from her father. Following a trail of clues Felly hopes will help her find him, she enlists the invaluable…and distracting…aid of Swamp Team 3.

The team also finds itself running from the Russian Mafia as well as the local bad guys. Will Felly and the Swamp Team find her father before all the bad guys do? Or will she get bogged down by the swamp, and sucked into the muck of her father’s shady past?

06 - Hiding In The Bayou - Riley Blake: CIA assassin Fortune Redding is frustrated after she witnesses a murder, but frustration soon leads to determination when Deputy Carter LeBlanc is arrested thanks to an unwarranted accusation. Convinced Carter didn’t commit the crime, Fortune turns to Ida Belle for help. A short time later, Gertie tries a ridiculous stunt and lands in the hospital. While there, she takes the time to piece together a murder clearly executed by amateurs but the motive isn’t what it seems.

07 - Jewel Of The Bayou - Amy Jo Belford: Even before CIA assassin Fortune Redding came to town, Sinful, Louisiana had more excitement than it deserved - and Gertie and Ida Belle, founding members of the Geritol Mafia, always seemed to find themselves at the center of whatever trouble was bubbling up along the Bayou. Gladys Langstrom, a cantankerous recluse known for blowing through her employees and tossing them aside faster than her tissues, has been a thorn in the side of the Sinful Ladies Club for longer than anyone cares to remember. A pillar of the Sinful Baptist Church until she got stuck with the wrong end of the pipe during the Great Organ Fiasco, she’s withheld her presence (to everyone’s relief) and her money (to the Church Board’s dismay) ever since. But if you take one clueless newcomer, throw in a rugged man on a mission, and stir it all up with the ugliest necklace this side of the swamp, there might just be a way for Gertie and Ida Belle to make Gladys useful in spite of herself. One thing is for sure… the Sinful Ladies can put the mess into mystery without even trying.

08 - Targed By The Tempest - J. L. Johnson: This story is a flashback of events that happened long before Fortune arrived in Sinful.

Now, with Valentine’s Day only a day away, and no idea how to cook a meal fit for a king, or a hunky deputy to be exact, she needs help… and a lot of it.
