Ellie Boone
bakes novelty cakes for a living. Kit Macchiano is the handsome photographer
who lives down the hall. They occasionally have lunch together, but never
without her best friend and other neighbor, Hanna. Both women are fascinated by
Kit, whose bachelor lifestyle contrasts sharply with their
where-are-all-the-good-men desperation.
Ellie never
tells Kit that her parents hunt mythical monsters for a living and host their
own cable television series. But they do, and they're in a jam, with the threat
of cancellation hanging over their heads. For that reason, Ellie's mom begs her
to accompany them on a hunt for the Cherufe, a legendary Chilean cave monster. Ellie,
who hasn't traveled with them getting lost in a cave at age six, reluctantly
agrees, but only if Hanna can tag along.
Ellie
tries to convince herself that she can overcome the lingering trauma of her
childhood misadventure. For one thing, her resulting nightmares rarely recur
these days, thanks to a male presence—a personal dream catcher--her
subconscious inserted into a paraticularly bad dream years ago. For another,
she'll have sweet, funny Hanna around for moral support. But a last-minute
emergency sidetracks her friend. And though Kit volunteers to step in for
Hanna, Ellie isn't thrilled and only agrees out of desperation.
To make
matters even more awkward, her parent can't be talked out of their assumption
that the two of them are a couple. It's only when Kit and a frightened Ellie are
deep inside the cave looking for the Cherufe that déjà vu slams her. She's
suddenly sure they know each other way better than she originally thought. In fact,
it almost feels as if Kit has helped her through this ordeal before.
But how?
Her dream catcher is just a figment…isn't he?

From bestselling cozy mystery author Aimee Gilchrist comes a holiday Aloha Lagoon Mystery of ho, ho, homicide! The only thing that Aloha Lagoon Resort manager Charlotte Conner hates more than her employees working on "island time" is Christmas. It isn't just the over commercialized tripe, but it's also the fact that once-upon-a-time her Christmas would-be wedding went up in spectacular flames. Now she has to share the hated Hawaiian holiday with her twin sister (the one responsible for Charlotte's ruined vows), Alexander Cho (the one currently responsible for destroying Charlotte's peace of mind and libido), and the body of one very dead assistant. Aloha Lagoon's police department can't find anyone else with a better motive for killing Charlotte's assistant than Charlotte herself, so now it's up to her, Alex, and her irritatingly ever-present twin to hunt down the real murderer before Charlotte spends her Christmas in a jail cell for a Mele Kalikimurder she didn't commit.
