Once upon a time four aspiring authors met at their very
first writers’ conference. Ten years later they’re still
friends, survivors of the ultra-competitive New York
publishing world. Mallory St. James is a workaholic whose
bestsellers support a lavish lifestyle. Tanya Mason is a
single mother juggling two jobs, two kids, and too many
deadlines. Faye Truett is the wife of a famous
televangelist and the author of inspirational romances: no
one would ever guess her explosive secret. Kendall Aims’s
once-promising career is on the skids—and so is her
marriage. Her sales are dismal, her new editor detests her
work—and her husband is cheating. Barely able to think,
let alone meet her final deadline, Kendall holes up in a
mountain cabin to confront a blank page and a blanker
future. But her friends won’t let her face this trial
alone. Together they collaborate on a novel using their
own lives as fodder, assuming no one will ever discover
the truth behind their words.
No one is more
surprised than they are when the book becomes a runaway
bestseller. But with success comes scrutiny and scandal…as
these four best friends suddenly realize how little
they’ve truly known each other.
