Serpentine Journey — Fleeta Cunningham

BROADWAY AT LAST! Since the age of six, Tye Lutierre has dreamed of the moment she steps onto the Broadway stage. In twenty-four hours her dream will be reality. What could go wrong? Almost everything, when she chooses to spend the evening with Philby Potter, a shadowy entrepreneur with a twisted view of the world. Potter avenges an imagined slight by getting her dropped from the production.

When her retaliation is eventually found out, she knows Potter will use any means, including violence, to get even. Though she swore she'd never go back, Tye returns to her family home in New Orleans, running for her life. Surely Potter can't find her on a riverboat -- can he?
