Stacie Soaps

With "Shoot first, ask later" as hotshot detective Xander Lewis' motto, he's more likely to kill someone than solve a case. When a gruesome murder occurs at a Victorian mansion, he and his sidekick are called in to investigate. Tactless, quick to judge, and borderline comical, he has ample opportunities to rub people the wrong way. With the list of suspects mounting and no murder weapon to be found, he's got his work cut out for him. Will he be able to solve the mystery, or will his unorthodox methods finally land him in trouble?

Meanwhile, feisty stay-at-home mom Kim Verraros can't stand her mother-in-law. Their petty feud has lasted over 20 years and she's beginning to feel like victory is out of reach. But when she gets a call from her P.I. with proof of juicy dirt on her arch nemesis, she has a tough decision to make: should she use this information to her benefit, or is keeping the family together more important than personal gratification? Or maybe she should keep an eye on her own sordid secrets?

Follow the lives of Velvet Shore's rich and poor as their paths collide in this quirky series filled with sex, secrets, and drama. You'll laugh and cry, as you read and experience the epic stories of people who, like some of us, would do anything in the name of love.

Their passions run deep. Their desires are insatiable. They are restless...

*** Author's Note ***

Restless Desires is unlike your traditional novel and is formatted like a screenplay. It is a work inspired by daytime TV and theatre. The series is fast-paced and has character-driven plots that can span multiple "episodes." However, each book can be read as a stand-alone.
