About this series
April, 1970 - Marge, Ida Belle and Gertie have a mystery on their hands when Oliver Blevins, left for dead, crawls from the bayou and ends up in their new backyard with a feverish warning: "They want Ruby."
Slipping into a coma, Oliver leaves them with more questions than answers:
Who are the men who tried to kill him?
And why would they want to kidnap Ruby Babin, the mayor's wife?
And how can the original Swamp Team 3 save Ruby when she doesn't believe she needs to be saved?
Saving Ruby is book 3 in the Sinful Past series of stories featuring Ida Belle, Gertie and Marge in their younger years. Join the original Swamp Team 3 as they raise hell, solve mysteries and keep the town of Sinful, Louisiana from going to pot. Oh, and maybe have a romance or two along the way. These stories take place from the 60s on up and can be read in any order.
A WORD FROM THE AUTHOR: Saving Ruby is a novella in the Miss Fortune World, wherein Jana DeLeon has allowed writers to create stories using the world of Sinful and the wacky characters it's famous for. I wish to thank Ms. DeLeon for graciously allowing other writers to explore their own writing in a most Sinful way.
