Bayou Side of Secrets: Bayou Holiday Book 8

By: Danyelle Scroggins

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

When Damion Carter returns home to Louisiana for the first time in over a decade, he’s bracing for dust, a will, and maybe a ghost. What he doesn’t expect is a man—Dexter—lounging in his late father’s recliner, watching Saints highlights, and baking a caramel cake that smells like heaven.

And then the bomb drops: Their father had two families, born only six days apart. Two mothers. Two sons. One long‑buried trail of secrets.

Dexter, a proud Louisiana baker, wants nothing to do with his California brother from his father’s snobby side. Damion, with his swanky L.A. car service, thinks Dexter’s world of sugar, gumbo, and throw pillows is beneath him.

But the will has one final request:

“Break bread together. Give thanks—together.”

One house. Two brothers. A table too big to ignore.

What begins as a truce over turkey, cake, and sibling resentment turns into something neither brother expected. A war between sides… and then the surprising arrival of love, forgiveness, and a culinary dream rooted deep in family, flavor, and home.

If you love sweet holiday romances with messy family secrets, second‑ chance love, and a Louisiana twist, you’re going to fall hard for Bayou Side of Secrets.
