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.
