From the church librarian to the garage mechanic, folks in Crook Mountain, Tennessee seem to be either hindering or helping an old missing-person investigation. And a certain waitress who’s fairly new in town may have more at stake than any of them. Now, throw in Joan Ryan, a semi-retired dietitian from Atlanta who arrives on the scene by pure happenstance. Joan may be the secret ingredient in a recipe of comedy, resourcefulness, and danger! “Such interesting characters I would like to meet. I am praying that this novel will be shared with many hungry readers.” Natalie G. “You have a gift with words and I was very aware of every descriptive word that is so much a part of your style. They kept my mind alive!” Jeanne W. I truly enjoyed the story and meeting all these new “friends”—well, some not so friendly! I so admire the talent it takes to imagine a plot, complete with all the characters, scenery, etc., and then put it all together with dialogue and all the details needed to make an appealing, interesting story. I’m looking forward to reading the sequel! Millie E.

Book Description
When Regina's friends insist on setting her up a "Fantasy Fix" to help her get over her cheating ex, she dreams up some kinky out-of-this-world encounters that they could never possibly bring to life. But the next thing Regina knows, her friends have got her laced into a shiny black corset, tight leather pants, and a sexy pair of stilettos. It's time for some downtown vampire-fantasy fun. . . . The Vampire Ball in Manhattan's East Village isn't really Dmitri Vidâme's idea of a good time, but as a member of the Council that governs the Others, he has to keep an eye on all the young vamps who prey on the pretenders. After he feasts his dark eyes on fiery Regina at the bar, he knows that he must have her. But for the first time Dmitri meets a woman who is more than a match for his indomitable will. And he may be the fantasy Regina hoped for... until she—and her feisty friends—discover her sexy new lover's bloodsucking secret...

After six months of doing his part to keep the peace during the delicate negotiations between the Others and humankind, he'd like nothing more than a good night's sleep—preceded by an enthusiastic mating session.
