Secrets And Lies

On the eve of her eightieth birthday, Edna Sterling—the formidable matriarch of one of California's wealthiest wine dynasties—summons two people she trusts above everyone else.

Rosalie Stetson, the lawyer who married into the Sterling family before escaping it.

Chance Sterling, the grandson who walked away from the family business rather than become like the men who ran it.

Edna hints that someone wants her gone.

The next morning...

She's gone.

The only things left behind are blood, a cryptic letter, and four ambitious sons who waste no time positioning themselves to seize control of the Sterling empire.

Convinced Edna didn't disappear willingly, Rosalie and Chance form an uneasy alliance to uncover the truth. But every answer leads them deeper into a family built on lies, old betrayals, and dangerous secrets someone is willing to kill to protect.

As suspicion turns inward and the attacks grow more deadly, trusting each other may be the only way they survive.

Because finding Edna could cost them everything.

Secrets and Lies is the gripping first novel in The Sterlings, a romantic suspense series filled with family conspiracies, dangerous inheritance wars, shocking twists, and a slow-burning romance forged in the middle of murder, deception, and betrayal.
