Opis

Happy Endings Resort Series Our resort is full of characters-residents, staff, locals from town, and our visitors and guests-all with a story to be told. Come join us for this unique series. Each month will be a new book by a different author, with a new cast of characters, as well as characters from other books in the series stopping by. Book Nine October, when the veil between the living and the dead thins until it becomes transparent on the 31st, and the living and dead once again walk together. Happy Endings Resort, where everyone gets their happy ending. Right? Esmeralda "Es" Boswell lives at Happy Endings Resort, but she is still waiting for her happy ending. She spends her days working as a receptionist for a local construction company, watching couples come in to design and build their dream homes. Her nights and weekends are spent traveling around the countryside giving happy-ever-after psychic readings at fairs and carnivals. Even her dreams are filled with happy endings, of what could be. But in reality, she is alone, trying to earn enough money to take care of her father's mounting medical bills and so far away from her happily-ever-after, she believes she is destined to walk her life alone. Hardened newspaper owner and reporter, Dominic McKay, knows there is no such thing as happily-ever-after. As a boy, his parents died and he was left with his only living relative, his spunky grandmother who raised him. She taught him to stand up for what is right and to fight what is wrong, a trait he takes very seriously as an adult. When she dies suddenly, he knows there is more than meets the eye, there had to be something sinister behind her death. Someone had to benefit from killing her, and he was going to figure out who it was. He looks no further than the local psychic who had been giving her readings on an almost daily basis, and looks to prove she's behind the murder of the one person he could always depend on. But where there is one death, there is always another. And death follows Es wherever she goes. Can they both survive what is heading in their direction? Will they have their happily-ever-after? Or will they let this once in a lifetime chance slip through their fingers.
