She has a lifetime habit of taking in strays, both animal and human. This time, she befriends the Jameson women and soon begins to suspect she might be sheltering a killer. Can she and her lover, Las Vegas homicide cop, Sam Howard, find the truth before another man finds Special fatally attractive?

Donna first came to Vegas to make costumes. Working in the girl’s dressing room and listening to their stories, she soon had the urge to write a book. Now, she’s the author of fifteen novels and one biography. Six of those are the Alexandra Merritt Mysteries, set in Las Vegas, where anything can happen, and does, daily. Four of her novels are Westerns, The Manhattan Stories, set in 1870 Manhattan, Kansas, the saga of the Belk family, starting with ＂Jessica,＂ and the next generation, ＂Pillsbury Crossing,＂ and finally, ＂The Cabin.＂
