Description
Presumed Innocent meets Sea of Love in this JonBenét Murder Whydunit
To escape the dark family secret that wrecked his childhood, aspiring screenwriter Damon loses himself in a movie world, becoming one with each character in his imagined plots. But that strength pales against the obsessive love he finds in his beautiful, can-do-no-wrong, Savannah spouse and their new son.
Haunting visions of her prior fling with an older married millionaire—who’d stolen her teenage virginity and corrupted her with dreams of the champagne life—kindle a brilliant revenge screenplay that could make Damon a millionaire.
But does the rich goliath still lurk? Damon’s paranoia redlines when the same dark secret suddenly seems to strike at his son. The eye-for-an-eye plot turns more sinister—and more real—as Damon rewrites the script to hurt his nemesis where it hurts most by stalking his pageant princess daughter. Will looking into her innocent eyes snap Damon from his deathly delusion?
“Dark and filled with a gritty tension that will leave readers feeling raw, Sans Emmert’s Little Miss Fortune is a twisted tale of love, deception, and the blurring of lines between reality and make-believe…. Sans Emmert has created an atmosphere that draws readers in, almost holding our breath as we fall deeper into the mind and perceptions of Damon’s world and his writing.
Advance Praise
"“Echoes of the JonBenét murder mystery permeate this exceptionally well executed, sinfully clever, and deeply absorbing psychological drama.” —Author David Aretha
“Dark and filled with a gritty tension that will leave readers feeling raw, Sans Emmert’s Little Miss Fortune is a twisted tale of love, deception, and the blurring of lines between reality and make-believe….

Razor taut throughout, readers will balance precariously on the edge of their seats waiting for that final shoe to fall…. Not for the faint of heart, this is a true test of the nature of man versus the nurturing of the soul. Highly recommended reading that is both chilling and haunting long after that final page.” —Tome Tender Book Blog

"I am not a big fan of romance, but this book mixed romance with a deep-seated psychological of the main character, Damon, who really needs help! As things go along in the story, and I am warning you....this is a dark romance story that is not for the faint of heart.....it is also a suspense story in its own way. The ending is mind-blowing. I read this book under the title of Forty Pounds of Flesh. I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book from NetGalley."

I couldn't out this book down, it was a twisty suspenseful and twisted tale of deception, love and blurring the lines of reality. The characters were well developed and the narrative was well written. an author to check out for sure.

I read this book in two days, consumed by every page...
Little Miss Fortune is a twisted tale where reality is blurred with murderous fantasies and impulses of revenge...
The characters are expertly drawn and the story played like a film in my head, a credit to the author's skills for setting a scene and bringing characters to life.
I don't want to say anymore without giving the plot away: you have to read it to experience it. I wouldn't be surprised if this novel ends up as a screen adaptation on TV.
