Cameo Easton is a completely honest person. She never lies, she pays her taxes, and obeys all the rules. So why does she have a human skull hidden in the detergent box in her laundry room and a body buried in her flower garden? When Cameo’s brother, Drake is tragically killed in a car accident, she inherits his house in the quiet suburbs of Seattle. While planting flowers in the back yard she discovers a human skeleton. She decides not to call the police until she discovers the identity of the body in her yard. She begins investigating her nice friendly neighbors and discovers none of them are what they appear to be. Little old ladies have dark secrets, a mysterious Scotsman carries a gun and her brother’s best friend has a bigger secret than she ever dreamed. There is no one she can trust. Cameo risks everything to uncover the terrible truth and finds she might be in love with a killer and she has to choose between mercy and justice.

Sweet Dreams: 50 Romantic Bedtime Stories for Big Girls
By April Knight
From Oak Tree Press!
I’m excited about my latest book “SWEET DREAMS- 50 Romantic Bedtime Stories for Big Girls”.
This book is about perfect love for imperfect people. Each story takes less than ten minutes to read so busy women can have a little romance while they wait for their bus, eat their lunch or just before they go to sleep.

The stories range from shy, innocent first love to the olden, golden love that lasts forever. The stories are funny, touching, quirky and tender. Some will grab your heart and bring tears to your eyes, others will make you laugh until your cheeks hurt.


Real romance for real people in ten enchanting moments!

Synopsis
Sweet Dreams – 50 Romantic Bedtime Stories for Big Girls (Oak Tree Press)
This book is romance for busy women who don’t have time to read more than a few minutes at a time.


Each of these stories take less than ten minutes to read so they can be read while waiting for a bus, having your morning coffee, or just before you go to bed. Every story is different, they are funny, touching, inspiring and above all, romantic. They are about imperfect people searching for perfect love, young love, first love, old love, lost love and love that lasts forever.  Sometimes love isn’t about roses and candlelight, sometimes love is about a rusty bucket, burned biscuits, a giraffe, a lost dog or a snowman. Love can be found in the most unexpected places with the most unlikely people and sometimes they really do live happily ever after.
