Desi is an exceptional dancer making ends meet as a money counter in Las Vegas, because—as ridiculous as it sounds—she’s too beautiful to hire. They say she draws the eye from the headliner. When her boyfriend runs off with her best friend, Desi decides to take a road trip to escape the glare of Vegas lights and clear her head. Just outside of town in the middle of nowhere her car sputters, leaving her stranded on the side of the road. Her only option is to call an acquaintance living in a nearby tiny town and pray he can help. Little towns can have big problems and suddenly Desi’s life is a game of craps, and every roll of the dice is coming up snake eyes. In this second novel featuring Mrs. Gunder and Edna, the crafty crones take on Desi’s case. With the help of Diana, Hank, and a handsome lawyer, can the senior sleuths get Lady Luck back on Desi’s side? Place your bets, put on your poker face, and pick up When Destiny Met Chance to see where the chips fall!
I signed up for Goodreads years ago, with every intention of joining in. Life got in the way. Three adult children, five grandchildren, and blessed to have my father able to travel and visit (at age 95) has been keeping me busy. Since signing up, I've been to Ireland a couple of times, accompanied my father on a number of cruises (including from England to the US and from California to Hawaii and back). I know just how blessed I am.
It's time to get back to my life and a huge part of my life is reading and getting to know my readers. It may take a little time to get accustomed to this site and to populate everything, but know that I am working on it.
For those generous enough to have stayed with me all these years, I owe you such a debt of gratitude. I'm back and much more focused.
