When their neighbor is found dead, the headlines read, "It doesn't pay to be a lottery winner." It gets you nothing but an endless line of crazies at your door, greedy relatives and acquaintances. Sleuths Madison and Fab don't have time to be concerned about the latest murder; they have problems of their own trying to figure out why their house has suddenly become the focus of several attempted break-ins. The duo are off on more adventures -- what could go wrong chauffeuring a limousine full of college girls? Or chasing after a custom Ferrari? Along the way, there's a break-up, a wedding, and the usual run-ins with the law.
If you like sassy, exciting crime novels, then you'll love Lottery in Paradise, the eleventh book in the scorching Paradise series about two seductive ladies who use unconventional and highly entertaining measures to maintain the peace in the steamy and twisted paradise of Tarpon Cove.
The Paradise series, are Florida Keys mysteries, “great as stand-alone reads, but they're like chips...you won't be able to devour just one!”

"Another FABULOUS book by one of my favorite authors. I love how there are always several different stories going on. I loved the ending..."

Hubbies Book Review
The 11th time we meet Madison and her crazy band of friends and family who take us on yet another rip roaring adventure through Florida Keys. This book can easily be read on its own as the author gives us the resume of the other adventures and describes the characters to a tee.
The writer pulls it out of the bag again, and engaging story with innovate ideas and plots, with lots of humour and emotions thrown in. The characters become more endearing and the story is fast paced and by the time you get to the end you are wanting more. You just lose yourself in the descriptive writing and imagine yourself being right alongside our heroines.
The real gem of these books is the fact that to do what is right sometimes you have to step over the boundaries of law enforcement and you are kept on tender hooks wondering whether they will get away with it or will be caught in the act.
I love this series of books as the characters grow from strength to strength and gain a place in your heart. Roll on the next adventure!

Book Excerpt
Fab hit the steering wheel with a closed fist. "I'm going to run that jerk off the road."
"No. You. Are. Not. And you're not going to shoot out his tires either." Though there was a zero chance of that happening. As talented as the hot, sexy woman was, she couldn't steer and shoot at the same time. "We'll act like normal people and call the police." Normal, I laughed to myself. I hadn't heard myself described that way in a long time. Mostly, I heard "weird" bandied about. An over-exaggeration - I'm familiar with weird, and that's not me.
"You better come up with something better than that." Fab pulled up alongside the truck on the driver's side.
I powered the window down and hung my head out, my hand in mid-air, ready to flag the man down, even though I knew that chances were slim that he'd pull over. Pulling my head back in the window, I said, "Change of plans." I pushed my red hair back into place, smoothing it down, certain it was a wind-whipped mess. "The fancy tow truck is one of Brick's."
Brick and I had a tenuous relationship; it was hard to trust him when I knew he never put Fab's safety first, or mine either. He opposed our relationship, knowing that several times I had convinced my daring friend to calm down and rethink her plan. As backup to Super PI Fab, there were few jobs that didn't include flying bullets and running for our lives. I was happy for the respite. So were our boyfriends,who'd had a face-to-face with Brick, laying down the rules: no more withholding details, and if it came out after the fact that he knew there was a high chance of danger, it would be the last mistake he would make. My boyfriend followed that up with a right cross to Brick's eye.
Fab made an outraged sound. "I don't believe you."

About the Author
I've been writing, in one way or another for as long as I can remember; poetry, sappy short stories (my best friend made me swear that I’d never show anyone until I changed the names), and a romance novel shoved under my bed.I wanted to create books with a wide-range of unforgettable characters, with heat and romance, and lots of guns. It wouldn’t be complete without a slice of humor and charm.
I live with my family and demon children aka rescue cats in South Florida.
