It is now part of the Miss Fortune World published by J&R Fan Fiction.  With regard to Fortune and Carter's relationship, as well as Fortune's threat from Middle East arms dealer, Ahmad, this story follows the storyline after the events of Hook, Line and Blinker, book 10 of Jana DeLeon's Miss Fortune series. I wish to thank Jana DeLeon for graciously allowing other writers to explore their own writing in a most Sinful way.

    Meanwhile, a dark and blurry photograph puts the entire town on high alert, and the election recount goes Sinfully haywire. It's all fun and games until bodies start turning up... and Fortune might just be the next victim.Fan Fiction: works written by adoring fans of the original author, using the original author's characters and settings. Jana DeLeon has graciously allowed certain authors to write in her world and Aunt Tillie is proud to be one of them. Jumbalaya was Tillie's first effort, and she hopes you will enjoy this and other stories by fan fiction authors. The timelines for these stories may not coincide with current Jana DeLeon stories, but they should fit almost anywhere within the Miss Fortune series.
