Synopsis:

You think you know your sister? Think again...

The day that Amy gets the call, her whole world falls apart. Her younger sister Lexi has been killed in a tragic boating accident, along with her husband. Despite being estranged for the last ten years, Amy never stopped loving Lexi, and the news crushes her.

But Amy is shocked when she discovers she is set to inherit Lexi's beautiful mansion on Palm Beach, all her fortune... and her newborn daughter.

Amy is stunned - how did she not know her own sister had a baby? And when the police reveal that they are treating the accident as suspicious, Amy starts to question everything.

Did she ever really know her sister? What secrets has Lexi been hiding? Can Amy protect her baby niece, or will the truth cost her everything?


Review:

Part mystery, part dysfunctional family drama, this one grabs you right away. Amy has regrets about not keeping in touch with her sister, but felt it was her sister's wish. When she finds out that she has been named as her niece's guardian, she realizes there was more going on with her sister. As she struggles to learn about her sister's life, she realizes that no one really knew what was going on behind closed doors, or in her brother in law's career. As she searches for the truth, the truth comes after her. A twisty roller coaster of a read, don't miss this one!
