    About this ebook

    When Margaret signed on as Mrs. Gabbler's personal assistant, she didn't think her job included zoo-keeping. But, as sole caretaker of her mistress's rare, pink Iguana, Duchess...every day for her is a safari. And a battle for her life.

    On the surface, Duchess is nothing more than a spoiled, pampered pet. And yet, underneath the iguana's lazy veneer, Margaret senses something older, something sinister...something out for blood. Margaret's blood...

    What follows is a cagey game of spider-and-fly, where the idle rich turn feral, the career-minded fire back, and the most abused of all will find a weapon even fear and hate can't shatter...love.

    Afternoon of the Iguana is approximately 1,200 words.
