Book Description
Cherri Mason has three wealthy husbands and high end antique shops in London, New York and Los Angeles. She is a woman of action, not words. Lately, her husbands and those little shops have become a bit of a strain. Maybe, it's time to take the money and run. The only way to do that is to kill her husbands and sell the antique shops. The trick is to get away with it. Does she? Well, yes and no. She has some wild times along the way with some unusual friends. Some of those friends aren't what they seem.
