When a fairytale fantasy night becomes a nightmare,
Chessa
Paxton must run for her life...but will the truth set her
free?
Chessa Paxton, an event planner in Lake
Tahoe,
celebrates a
successful night at the Happily Ever After Ball, but her
dream quickly becomes a nightmare when she wakes up
beside
the body of her dead husband. Nauseous and confused,
feeling
as if she's been drugged, she can't explain to the
sheriff
why her princess costume is bloodied. With her father
already a convicted murderer, she feels invisible
shackles
ratcheting onto her wrists and ankles. She runs! But she
can't escape vivid flashes of memory: a massacre in a
meadow; men and women in fairy tale costumes; Snow
White’s
dead body shielding her from bullets.
Though Chessa
is
a former costumer and a master of disguise,
she quickly learns that hiding while trying to prove
herself
innocent is the most difficult task imaginable.
Especially
when the sheriff wants to throw her in jail and the real
killer wants to silence her forever.
The stand-alone suspense is earning great reviews!

Things heat up for bookstore owner Jenna Hart in
the
latest Cookbook Nook mystery from the Agatha Award-
winning
author of Fudging the Books.
As the Wild
West Extravaganza rides into Crystal Cove,
California, Cookbook Nook store owner Jenna Hart is ready
to
indulge her appetite for grilled and barbecued treats and
maybe even try the Texas skip. But when the body of one
of
her father’s neighbors is found the next morning
smoldering
in a bonfire, the rodeo revelry is extinguished.
Sylvia Gump had acquired plenty of enemies with
her practice of illegally encroaching on her neighbors’
properties—including Jenna’s dad, who was off fishing by
himself and has no alibi for the murder. Now it’s up to
Cary
Hart’s dutiful daughter to clear his name before the real
killer turns up the heat and rakes someone else over the
coals...
