Tainted Harvest (Simone Doucet Series Book 1) by E. Denise Billups

She escaped servitude for a worse fate. Now she wants everyone to know what happened.

Travel writer Simone Doucet searches for meaning in her life, but purpose finds her in an unexpected way. When she accepts an assignment to write about Magnolia Sunrise—a historic bed-and-breakfast perched on the bluffs of Natchez, Mississippi—she encounters more than just a story.

Her nights become haunted by terrifying visions of a young slave girl named Delphine. During her first evening at the B&B, Simone is inexplicably transported to 1863 antebellum Natchez. Through spectral eyes, she witnesses the unspeakable horrors of Delphine’s life—and death.

But why has Delphine’s spirit chosen Simone? As she unravels this supernatural mystery, Simone discovers that some secrets refuse to stay buried. Will uncovering Delphine’s tragic past finally give Simone the purpose she’s been seeking, or will it draw her deeper into a web of long-buried secrets?

Perfect for fans of supernatural mysteries and historical fiction where the past and present collide. Tainted Harvest weaves a haunting tale of justice, redemption, and the bonds that transcend time.
