The Icing on the Cake

BETTE JOHNSON, who is eight months pregnant, decides to leave her philandering, self-centered husband, STEVE, without telling a soul. After withdrawing $350,000 from their joint bank account, she buys an SUV she sees in the classifieds from LOVEY, a woman of pure evil, and departs for the snowy mountains. She has a car accident and is knocked unconscious. BEN AVERY, a snowplow driver, rescues her and tends to her wounds. Later, Lovey finds a note from JOHN, whom she had assisted in a diamond heist then killed. The note states that he hid the stolen diamonds in the SUV she sold to Bette. To locate Bette and the diamonds, Lovey seduces and aligns herself with an unknowing Steve, who has now become suspect in his wife's disappearance, killing anyone who gets in her way.

THE ICING ON THE CAKE is a suspense novel about one woman's (Lovey) greed and how she will kill anyone and do anything to get back the diamonds she stole.  It is also about another woman (Bette) who is eight months pregnant. She has secretly left her husband and unknowingly has the diamonds in her possession. Now that she is considered missing, her husband is suspect in her disappearance. Lovey aligns herself and seduces Bette's husband in hopes of acquiring the diamonds. No one is safe. 

LYNETTE SAUNDERS ALEXANDER was born in Pinehurst, NC and moved to the San Francisco Bay Area during the elementary school years. In Fourth grade, she became fascinated with Alfred Hitchcock and Harlequin Romance novels and later decided romance and fear worked extraordinarily well together. In a college English class, she penned a comparative writing on "It's a Wonderful Life" and "Psycho." It made quite an impression and much discussion and laughter took place with her fellow students. She decided to try her hand and writing and attended a number of writing classes/conferences on Los Angeles, CA. After someone read "The Icing on the Cake" she was asked "Do I need to sleep with one eye open?" Ms. Alexander responded "Probably."
