IN PLAIN SIGHT
A billionaire tyrant proves no match for the loyal Sisterhood in a page-turning new novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author Fern Michaels.
Nothing beats the adrenaline rush of a well-executed mission. But Myra Rutledge and Annie de Silva, founding members of the Sisterhood, also find more low-key ways to support the underdog. For years they’ve funded an underground network run by former Supreme Court Justice Pearl Barnes, who helps women escape abusive relationships. When security is breached at a clinic she works with, and two of her clients fail to report for their weekly check-in, Pearl fears they may be in mortal danger.
In the War Room at Myra’s estate, the Sisterhood and their allies gather to assess the damage. The missing women are French model Amalie Laurent and her one-time maid, Rosalee Muno. Amalie’s estranged husband, Lincoln Moss, is a distant cousin of the President of the United States and one of his closest advisers. Moss’s power is matched by the violent streak he hides from the world, and he beat Amalie viciously until she finally escaped with her maid’s help. The two women have been living nearby, their physical appearance altered to match their new identities, and until now they hoped they were finally beyond Lincoln Moss’s reach.
Moss is accustomed to doing exactly what he wants without fear of consequence. But the bigger they come, the harder they fall. And the Sisterhood intends to make sure that Lincoln Moss gets exactly what he deserves, as justice triumphs once again....
PERFECT MATCH
An injured ex-athlete discovers that giving up on the game of life is not an option....
As far as former NFL star Jake Masters is concerned, dreams are risky propositions. Years ago he came achingly close to achieving his ambition of playing in the Super Bowl—before a spinal injury ended his career. Confined to a wheelchair, unwilling to take a chance on another risky surgery that could restore his mobility, Jake now stays cocooned behind the imposing gates of his lavish home.
But his twin sister, Beth, has no intention of letting him languish there forever. After years of flitting from one failed business idea to another, all fueled by Jake’s generosity, she now owns a highly lucrative matchmaking service. And she’s gifting the business to Jake—whether he likes it or not—while she follows her dreams of making it as a singer in Nashville.
Though Jake had plenty of women falling all over him at the peak of his success, he knows nothing about matchmaking. He’s willing to try for his sister’s sake, and it’s soon clear that he needs an assistant. Enter Gracie Sweet, whose slender frame belies a take-no-charge toughness that would put any linebacker to shame. Grace begins by revamping the business and soon she’s overhauling Jake’s entire life—and to his huge surprise, Jake’s enjoying it. But when their clients become victims of theft, Gracie and Jake must reconcile their very different outlooks if they’re to have any chance of saving the business . . . and if Jake is to make another play for the life he thought he lost....
TUESDAY’S CHILD
Second Chances
Ten years have passed since young nurse Sophie Lee was accused of murdering her wealthy patient, Audrey Star. Georgia attorney Mikala Aulani believed her innocence—and Adam Star’s guilt—but the prosecution convinced a jury otherwise. Sophie was convicted on a Tuesday—the day on which every significant event in her life, good or bad, seems to happen. Now, on the verge of his death, Adam exonerates Sophie and also leaves her a huge fortune in atonement.
Sophie retreats to Kala’s house and tries to evade the media frenzy that surrounds her. Kala is determined to help her client make her way back into the world. Yet for both, there are still revelations in store—about the nature of redemption, the strange workings of fate, and the power of forgiveness. And most of all, about the secrets that hide in every heart—even those we think we know best. . . .
