Three women find an unexpected sisterhood in this perfect beach
read from the USA Today bestselling author of Best Beach Ever and
My Ex-Best Friend's Wedding. Madeline, Avery, and Nikki are
strangers to each other, but they have one thing in common. They
each wake up one morning to discover that their life savings have
vanished along with their trusted financial manager-leaving them
with nothing but co-ownership of a ramshackle beachfront house.
Madeline Singer is a homemaker coping with empty-nest syndrome and
an unemployed husband. Avery Lawford is an architect, or was, until
she somehow became the sidekick on her ex-husband's TV show. And
professional matchmaker Nikki Grant is trying to recover from her
biggest mistake... Throwing caution to the wind, the three women
take on the challenge of restoring the historic beach house to its
former glory. But just as they begin to reinvent themselves and
discover the power of friendship, their secrets threaten to tear
down their trust and destroy their lives a second time...
Once upon a time four aspiring authors met at their very first
writers' conference. Ten years later they're still friends,
survivors of the ultra-competitive New York publishing world.
Mallory St. James is a workaholic whose bestsellers support a
lavish lifestyle. Tanya Mason is a single mother juggling two jobs,
two kids, and too many deadlines. Faye Truett is the wife of a
famous televangelist and the author of inspirational romances: no
one would ever guess her explosive secret. Kendall Aims's
once-promising career is on the skids-and so is her marriage. Her
sales are dismal, her new editor detests her work-and her husband
is cheating. Barely able to think, let alone meet her final
deadline, Kendall holes up in a mountain cabin to confront a blank
page and a blanker future. But her friends won't let her face this
trial alone. Together they collaborate on a novel using their own
lives as fodder, assuming no one will ever discover the truth
behind their words.
No one is more surprised than they are when the book becomes a
runaway bestseller. But with success comes scrutiny and
scandal...as these four best friends suddenly realize how little
they've truly known each other.
FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF "TEN BEACH ROAD" AND "OCEAN BEACH, "
A NEW NOVEL OF FOUR FRIENDS--AND A SHARED PASSION THAT COULD CHANGE
THEIR LIVES.
When the concierge of The Alexander, a historic Atlanta apartment
building, invites his fellow residents to join him for weekly
screenings of "Downton Abbey, " four very different people find
themselves connecting with the addictive drama, and--even more
unexpectedly--with each other...
Samantha Davis married young and for the wrong reason: the security
of old Atlanta money--for herself and for her orphaned brother and
sister. She never expected her marriage to be complicated by love
and compromised by a shattering family betrayal.
Claire Walker is now an empty nester and struggling author who left
her home in the suburbs for the old world charm of The Alexander,
and for a new and productive life. But she soon wonders if clinging
to old dreams can be more destructive than having no dreams at
all.
And then there's Brooke MacKenzie, a woman in constant battle with
her faithless ex-husband. She's just starting to realize that it's
time to take a deep breath and come to terms with the fact that her
life is not the fairy tale she thought it would be.
For Samantha, Claire, Brooke--and Edward, who arranges the weekly
gatherings--it will be a season of surprises as they forge a bond
that will sustain them through some of life's hardest moments--all
of it reflected in the unfolding drama, comedy, and convergent
lives of "Downton Abbey."
"Wendy Wax, author of the "warm and] wry" ("St. Petersburg Times")
"Ten Beach Road," returns with a novel of three women in need of a
second chance...or is it a third? "
Unlikely friends Madeline, Avery and Nicole have hit some speed
bumps in their lives, but when they arrive in Miami's South Beach
neighborhood, they are all hoping for a do-over. Literally. They've
been hired to bring a once-grand historic house back to its former
glory on a new television show called Do-Over. If they can just get
this show off the ground, Nikki would get back on her feet
financially, Avery could restart her ruined career, and Maddie
would have a shot at keeping her family together.
At least, that's the plan - until the women realize that having
their work broadcast is one thing, having their personal lives play
out on TV is another thing entirely. Soon they are struggling to
hold themselves, and the project, together. With a decades-old
mystery--and the hurricane season--looming, the women are forced to
figure out just how they'll weather life's storms...
