Pageants and Poison
by Laura Marie Altom
Pageants, poison, and...possibly prison? My return to small town Fern Springs will either end in true love or death!
Returning to Fern Springs, Oklahoma, wasn't a nostalgic homecoming, but making good on a bittersweet promise to handle my late grandmother's affairs. Topping my list? Closing her beloved pageant shop. Things take a messy turn, though, when I cross paths with Cowboy Luke and his spunky daughter, Posey, whose own dreams of pageantry met an abrupt end with my gammy's passing.
Little did I know that Beulah's Pageant Parlour holds more than frilly dresses and crowns. Creepy thugs come out of the woodwork, intent on uncovering age-old secrets. When an obscene amount of money is found, Wolf--the criminally hot sheriff and my old high school crush--places me and Luke under house arrest.
Stuck together in close quarters, I grow a little too fond of my new life alongside Luke and Posey. But the more we start feeling like a family, the more I realize they're in danger being close to me. Do I have the courage to cut ties in order to protect them? Or do I stay and fight, ignoring the fact that in the process, we may all die?
If the heart-pounding, yet quirky thrills of Molly Fitz and Jasmine Webb keep you reading past your bedtime, stay up late tonight with PAGEANTS and POISONS!

Laura Marie Altom's Bio
Laura Marie Altom is the author of nearly 50 books in three different genres. She's been happily married to her college sweetheart (Go Hogs!) for 25 years and believes their boy/girl twins actively plot to drive her crazy! Now that her kiddos are in college, Laura spends her days contentedly writing and chasing after the family menagerie of pets, ranging from a mutt named Sweet Pea, a mini-long-haired dachshund named Cocoa, a Yorkie named Daisy, and Domino---a black-and-white stealth cat she rarely sees. There are also plenty of ducks and geese who live in the backyard pond but would like to live in the house! When night falls, Laura steals a few romantic moments for herself and her own hunky cover stud! Laura loves hearing from readers and may be reached via email at BaliPalm@aol.com or snail mail at P.O.
