Theresa Gallagher has never met her Aunt Dottie, though she remembers her mother’s stories about the wild sister who left home at seventeen and moved out west. When a letter arrives from one of Dottie’s neighbors, telling Theresa that her aunt is now incapacitated and in a nursing home, Theresa decides to fly out to Arizona to see her. After all, family is family.

The staff at the Sunnydale Care Facility seem pleasant and efficient, but Theresa finds it strange that she’s only permitted to “observe” her elderly aunt from a viewing room. It’s the first of several red flags that lead Theresa to start asking questions. Is it just coincidence that as soon as she does, her car is almost run off the road?

Theresa contacts her attorney friend, Lizzy Fox, and soon the Sisterhood is on the case, uncovering evidence suggesting that behind Sunnydale’s compassionate image hides a greedy, cruel enterprise. At Sunnydale centers, seniors are mistreated, duped, and drained of their savings. And with powerful political figures at the helm, staying one step ahead of legislation and investigation, it seems like the perfect scam.

From her silver Mercedes to her designer kitchen, Molly’s life is gleaming and beautiful—at least on the surface. But no one in her Goldenhills, Massachusetts, community knows what living with her demanding husband Tanner is really like. They know even less about the life she left behind in Florida almost two decades ago.

Back then, Molly was Maddy Carmichael, living with her twin brother and neglectful mother in a run-down trailer park amid the orange groves of Florida. After the terrible events of her high school prom night, Molly fled north and reinvented herself.

Now the veneer of Molly’s polished existence is finally cracking—and Molly must find the strength to become the woman she once hoped to be.

In this season’s must-read for fans of Nora Roberts, Danielle Steel, and Janet Evanovich, a woman imprisoned by her painful past faces a crisis that might just set her free to claim the life she deserves.

No one in the nearby small town has any idea of her true identity. To them, she’s just the reclusive woman on the mountain, and Katherine is grateful to be left alone.

It wasn’t always this way. Though her parents were as neglectful as they were wealthy, Katherine built up a busy, full life. Then tragedy struck and she retreated, panic-stricken at the idea of engaging with anyone again. Aside from her two faithful dogs who provide companionship and security, Katherine mostly interacts with people anonymously online through reader fan pages.

Now one of those fans appears to be in danger, and Katherine desperately wants to help. But that means moving beyond her isolated world for the first time in years. More and more, Katherine can’t shake the feeling that some of her fears may be justified. Someone is watching her, she’s sure of it, and they’re getting closer all the time. And only by leaving her self-imposed exile can she hope to find the answers she needs, the courage to trust again, and an unexpected new beginning . . .

Growing up, Madison Taylor and her younger brother Lincoln lived in privilege, attending the most expensive private boarding school in the country. That sheltered existence abruptly ended when their father was arrested for fraud, and the family assets were seized.

Meanwhile Emily’s father, Henry, has spent years on the run after witnessing a murder and being implicated in the crime.

A powerful attorney with a cut-throat reputation, Lizzie Fox has just taken on a high-profile new client—Lily Flowers, the Madam of a high-end bordello operating under the guise of a summer camp.

The chips—a.k.a. the prominent Washington politicians who frequent the bordello—are stacked against Lily and her girls. But one phone call to the Sisterhood might just swing the vote.

But Zach Ryder is no regular client. On screen, he’s famous for starring as a daring CIA officer who always saves the day.

Still, not everything in life can be planned, and sometimes, no matter how hard you try, you just can’t help but fall . . .
