A forbidden love. A dangerous secret. A city where every promise comes at a price.
New Orleans, 1812.
Behind the glittering mansions, grand balls, and bustling riverfront lies a city built on secrets.
Julien Delacroix is the heir to one of New Orleans' most powerful families, destined for wealth, influence, and a future chosen long before he was born. Gabriel Moreau has spent years escaping the world of privilege, determined to build a life on his own terms and never trust another wealthy man again.
Their chance meeting along the Mississippi should have been forgotten.
Instead, it becomes the beginning of a love neither of them expected—and one society will never accept.
As stolen afternoons turn into whispered promises, Julien discovers a New Orleans hidden beneath its elegant faç vibrant music, secluded courtyards, moonlit streets, and a world where freedom feels almost within reach. But when a long-buried crime resurfaces, shocking truths threaten Gabriel's future and force Julien to question everything he thought he knew about the family that raised him.
With powerful enemies closing in and impossible choices ahead, Julien must decide whether to protect the life he inherited... or risk everything for the man who captured his heart.
Beneath the Crescent Moon is a sweeping M/M historical romance filled with forbidden love, family secrets, unforgettable characters, rich historical detail, and the enduring belief that even in the darkest moments, love can still light the way home.
