It starts with an invitation. but ends with a disappearance. Or maybe it's murder. No one knows yet. But time is running out-tick tock. For years, bright, young lawyer Rosalie Stetson has avoided returning to Blushing Green, California-a town split by emerald green hills, where the elite sip wine while the working class fights for a place at the table. She thought she had left it all behind, including her ex-husband, Peter Sterling-heir to one of the country's wealthiest and most ruthless families.
But when Rosalie's ex-grandmother-in-law, Edna Sterling, requests her presence for an urgent matter before her 80th birthday celebration, she can't say no. What Edna has to tell her is a mystery. And Edna likes it that way. The last person Chance Sterling expects to see when he arrives at the family estate is Rosalie Stetson. His cousin's ex-wife. A woman with secrets of her own. A woman who doesn't even remember the first time they met.
But when Edna asks them both to sign a mysterious agreement, neither of them can anticipate the storm it will unleash."You love me?""You trust me?""Then sign on the dotted line, " Edna says. And the moment they do-everything unravels. Perfect for fans of J. R. Ward's The Bourbon Kings and Liv Constantine's The Last Mrs. Parrish, Secrets and Lies is a gripping tale of wealth, power, and deception where nothing is as it seems.
Dare to step inside the world of the Sterlings-before it's too late.
