contemporary heroines and strong plots.
Coming November 2010

Why can’t the Wilkes sisters enjoy a quiet,
joyful Christmas season like everyone else? Why do their best laid plans get
derailed by murder and mayhem? All Ashley wants is to celebrate a quiet
Christmas with Jon and their precious babies. Melanie is about to be
inaugurated as the president of the North Carolina Association of Realtors.
Her plans include entertaining the state’s social elite at her lavishly
restored hunting lodge. How could she foresee that a wealthy developer would
take a header down her stairs? It looks like an accident, but is it? Then as
Melanie is showing off her latest listing, a fabulous six-million-dollar
waterfront property, who does she find in the four-poster bed but a highly
controversial state senator, dead by mysterious means. A Colonial-era family
will has surfaced that bequeaths a treasure to the descendants. Are Ashley
and Melanie heirs to a family fortune? And just what is that fortune and
where is it hidden? Is anyone else searching for it? And will they kill to
get it!
