The Good Sister:

The Good Sister is about Fern Castle and her twin sister Rose. Fern works in a library and she dines three nights a week with Rose. She avoids crowds, bright lights, and loud noises as much as possible. Fern has a carefully structured life and disrupting her routine can be…dangerous.

When Rose discovers that she cannot get pregnant, Fern sees her chance to pay her sister back for everything Rose has done for her. Fern can have a baby for Rose. She just needs to find a father. Simple, she thinks.

Just An Ordinary Family:

In Just An Ordinary Family, Alice Hunter is suddenly single, jobless, and forced to move home to her parents’ tiny seaside town. And now she faces an uncomfortable truth. She wants her twin sister Libby’s enviable life.

Libby’s closest friend, Jess Dekic, has been around the Hunter family for so long that she might as well be blood. She’s always considered herself a sister closer to Libby than Alice ever could be.

Libby Hunter has all of life’s boxes ticked: prominent small-town doctor, gorgeous husband, and two young daughters. But when she is betrayed by those she loves most, it reveals how tenuous her world is.

For Karen Hunter, her children are a double-edged sword of pain and pride. She’s always tried to guide her girls through life’s pitfalls, but how do you protect your children when they’re adults?

As the family implodes, the fallout for these four women will be inescapable.

The Garden Of Wives:

In The Garden Of Wives, Cass Maccabee thought her new life in the Gardens of Orchid Hill would be perfect—a luxury home, an ideal neighborhood, and a promising future. But she can’t shake the feeling that something is off when she arrives. There are whispers of secrets, hidden motives, and a dark past no one dares to speak about.

As Cass becomes entangled in the lives of the women around her, she senses that danger and deception are lurking behind their perfect smiles and flawless facades. In a world of high-tech comforts and traditional charm, the walls of Orchid Hill hold more than just gossip—they hide truths that could destroy everything.
