The Miracles and Millions Saga Two minds, two bodies, two hearts, one soul. With the vile gang behind all the stalking and attempts on Dorothy's life and mental stability now revealed and arrested, she can return to a life of normality and begin to enjoy the trappings of being one of the wealthiest women around. The perpetrators were a surprise, for sure. To say nothing of disappointing. However, they are out of the way, ergo it seems logical that things will settle down. A good routine, good friends, a supportive family and bucket loads of cash should be enough to ensure smooth running. But things have an awful habit of not going too well for Dorothy. And when another sanity-threatening problem develops, she has to look for ever more outrageous ways to solve it. With her family now at stake, Dorothy is prepared to do almost anything to protect them. With a bank balance big enough to accommodate the egos of those who are prepared to do the dirty work, nothing will stop her from defending those she loves. Wealth is sometimes a double edged sword.
