In the French Quarter of New Orleans, secrets cling to the walls like ivy, and no place holds them tighter than Le Chat Gris, a family-owned café whispered to be haunted for over three centuries. For Jasmine De Montrichard, the café is both duty and sanctuary. By day, it hums with music, sugar, and laughter. By night, it stirs with strange whispers, flickering candles, and the painted eyes of a gray cat that seem to watch her every move. When Julien, a mysterious stranger, begins appearing each evening—handsome, elegant, and unsettlingly timeless—Jasmine feels the pull of a story older than herself. Then a second man arrives: Anton Velikov, a storm-eyed officer whose presence is as commanding as it is enigmatic. Between them lies a tangle of desire, danger, and secrets too deep to ignore. As Jasmine is drawn into a world where the line between ghost and lover, curse and promise, blurs, she must decide: protect the café’s legacy, or surrender to the forces—and the passions—that threaten to consume her. A lush blend of gothic romance, supernatural suspense, and the magic of New Orleans, Le Chat Gris is the beginning of an unforgettable saga of love, haunting, and the courage to face the stories that shape us.
