From country club to trailer park ... Swindled out of a fair divorce settlement, former socialite Bliss Moonbeam Cornwall works a number of part-time jobs to pay the rent on a rundown trailer and keep her motorcycle on the road. House cleaner, yoga teacher, library assistant, cemetery groundskeeper, drudge for her agoraphobic cousin – the work never ends. But Bliss still can’t save enough money for another day in court. So, when her cousin offers her a generous fee to find a pollinating mate for his giant jungle plant, she agrees to help. How hard can it be? That’s when she discovers that her neighbours, employers, and even her cousin are involved in a string of illegal activities – including grow-ops and suspicious deaths. Police Chief Neil Redfern’s persistent scrutiny is interfering with her goal, and Bliss suspects he himself may be up to his badge in the crimes he’s "investigating." With no one to back her up, Bliss must make a decision: she can give up on her dream, or she can start fighting dirty. Either way, she risks becoming another murder victim.

Book excerpt: Can there be a right choice when past and present collide? Lyris Pembrooke inherits Hammersleigh House from her great-uncle and makes a grisly discovery in the tower room of the old mansion - the mummified remains of a tiny child. Concealed and forgotten since the 1943 family reunion. She feels driven to uncover the reasons for the tragedy, but after 60 years the only way is to accept her supernatural heritage. Not ready to go that route, Lyris seeks the assistance of the family psychic, getting more than she bargained for. Suddenly, Leander, an ethereal being with an attitude who prefers hanging out with Winston Churchill and John Lennon, pops in and announces he's Lyris' new guide, advising her to embrace her calling. While nurturing a new relationship with Blackshore's police chief, avoiding her ex-husband's controlling demands, hosting this year's reunion, and waging a psychological battle with the mansion's butler, Lyris is already taxed to her limits. And, that's not counting the sinister figure prowling Hammersleigh's halls at night, stealing small valuables. During an oppressive summer heat wave, a tear in the cosmic veil fractures time, forcing Lyris to choose her life's path. Will she accept her psychic abilities and delve into the tortured psyche of a WWII soldier? Or turn away from her gift and leave the horror of little Tommy Pembrooke's murder forever unexplained?
