Summary:
Did she once have a sister? Has
her mother lied all these years? Why?
After a painful divorce, Maisey Lazarow returns to Fairham, the small
island off the South Carolina coast where she grew up. She goes
there to heal—and to help her brother, Keith, a deeply troubled man who’s asked
her to come home. But she refuses to stay in the family house because the last
person she wants to see is the wealthy, controlling mother she escaped years
ago.Instead, she finds herself living next door to someone else she’d prefer to
avoid—Rafe Romero, the wild, reckless boy to whom she lost her virginity at
sixteen. He’s back on the island, and to her surprise, he’s raising a young
daughter alone. Maisey’s still attracted to him, but her heart’s too
broken to risk…
Then something even more disturbing happens. She discovers a box of
photographs that evoke distant memories of a little girl, a child Keith
remembers, too. Maisey believes the girl must’ve been their sister, but their
mother claims there was no
sister.
She’s convinced that child existed. So where is she now?

About the Author:
It was
a shocking experience that jump-started Brenda Novak’s bestselling author
career.
“I
caught my day-care provider drugging my children with cough syrup and Tylenol
to get them to sleep while I was away,” Brenda says. “It was then that I
decided that I needed to do something from home.”
“When I first got the idea to become a novelist, it took me five years
to teach myself the craft and finish my first book,” Brenda admits. “I learned
how to write by reading what others have written. The best advice for any
would-be author: read, read, read….”
Brenda sold her first book, and the
rest is history. Many of her novels have won or placed in contests such as the
National Reader’s Choice, the Bookseller’s Best, the Write Touch, the Award of
Excellence and the Beacon Award for Published Authors.
Brenda and her husband, Ted, live in Sacramento and are the proud
parents of five children—three girls and two boys. She juggles her writing
career with her children’s softball and soccer games, field trips, carpool runs
and homework sessions.
When she’s not spending time with her family or writing, Brenda is
usually working on her annual fundraiser for diabetes research—an on-line auction held at her website May 1st – May
31st. Her youngest son, Thad, has diabetes, and Brenda is determined to help
him and others like him. She also enjoys traveling, watching sporting events
and biking–she rides an amazing 20 miles every day!
