Publisher's summary

Secrets and scandals are a way of life for the Murdochs of Chesterton, Virginia. But the lies that bind them may end up tearing them apart.

With his drama-filled marriage behind him, Evan Murdoch has finally found happiness with his longtime friend turned fiancée, Leila Hawkins. But when his party boy brother, Terrence, is seriously injured in a car accident, a gossiping press puts the family back in the spotlight. Soon Terrence could face a lawsuit - and much worse if his vengeful half brother, Dante, has his way. Terrence's only bright spot is journalist C. J. Aston - but is she really on his side, or does she have another motive?

While Terrence struggles to recover from his injuries, Paulette, the little sister of the family, is struggling with a secret: She's pregnant and unsure whether the father is her blackmailing ex or her husband. Amid the turmoil, Evan does his best to stay above the fray, but a shocking revelation makes that impossible - he's a Murdoch, after all, and trouble seems to be their business.

Great Read

So far I'm loving the series. The narration is wonderful 👏 👏. However I would've liked to have heard more from Paulette's character.

Great story line...

I was so pissed at Evans wife. The author truly knows how to get the reader excited. Omg!.. I wanted Evan to divorce her before he slept with Laila Hawkins.. but it was good the way everything happened.. and Dontee.. sheesh.. what a jerk!

The END

I've never read a book that ended that way. Hopefully there truly is a sequel coming.

Nonstop twists and turns

The story is better than a good old soap opera! The characters are so real and down to earth. And no one can cuss like they do. Can’t wait to catch the next book.

Ooh Wee!

Part 2 was definitely good! That Paulette irked me because of the decisions she made was why she was in the predicament she was in. Had she said something from.jump she wouldn't have been so jacked up. Leila needs to get a backbone when it comes to Izzy and I'm gonna need Shareese to give it up. The ending though...uugghh. Great read and I can't wait to see what happens next.
