The big question is who is the real Christa Jody McKinley
AKA Jo the high priced model AKA Jo-Jo the sister of Christy
McKenna guru of taste and style as the editor of Horizon
fashion magazine. No one seems to know and seemingly no one
really cares. Well no one but Christy. But after years of
caring which was unreciprocated even Christy is running out
of patience and sadly, feelings for her younger sister. When
asked "Did you know her well?" Christy's answer was "I
thought I did -- but I didn't. She was a mystery to me," the
secret sister. There are so many secrets surrounding
Christy's current assignment you need a road map to keep
them straight. On the surface it would appear that she is to
cover Peter Hutton's new line of clothes inspired by his
archeological find on his ranch in southwest Colorado.
Hutton's new line is called The Sisters Collection after his
discovery of the burial ground of princess sisters, the
Kokopelli sisters, who were buried with amazingly beautiful,
ornate pieces of art and jewelry. The designs on these
pieces became the foundation of the new line. But nothing
and no one is as they first appear.
One of the first townspeople that Christy meets is Aaron
Cain an ex-con who earns his keep by supposedly stealing
artifacts from various sites in the desert. Cain is a man
with a past whom Jo described as dangerous. However he comes
to Christy's aid on more then one occasion making her
question her initial appraisal of him. Christy's
insecurities about her appearance has her feeling ugly in
comparison to her gorgeous and glamorous younger sister and
yet Cain seems to be very attracted to her evidenced by his
often seemingly careless caresses. The attraction between
the two is palatable, exciting and yet apparently doomed.
Cain doesn't know that the green-eyed, redhead he is
assisting is the older sister of blonde bombshell Jo. This
is another secret of this story that is filled with
discoveries.
This book originally published with Lowell writing as Ann
Maxwell carries her trademark style of sharing details
throughout the book and then using these in the search for
closure. Nothing is ever wasted in a Lowell book and you
will find yourself going back searching out well hidden
clues that were there from the very beginning. Any fan of
hers will undoubtedly want to add THE SECRET SISTER to their
Elizabeth Lowell library. The background theme of this
story/book is that the desert holds many mysteries, many of
which are best left alone. If one is to believe in the
mystical world of civilizations that preceded ours then
there are sacred articles that should be handled with
extreme care if handled at all. There are too many elements
of interest in this book to possibly list them -- you will
have to find out yourself.
The message greeting fashion writer Christy McKenna fills
her with apprehension. Twelve years have passed since she
last heard from her estranged sister, the celebrated
supermodel known to an admiring world as "Jo." It had been
bad news then; it would be bad news now.
A desperate plea from the one person she cannot refuse is
drawing Christy from Manhattan to the mysterious red-rock
canyons of the Four Corners country -- but too late for Jo,
who has vanished without a trace. Suddenly trapped in a
world of perilous secrets, in a West she thought she'd
escaped forever, Christy's only ally is the outlaw
archaeologist Aaron Cain -- who could ultimately be a
friend, a lover, or a threat -- as they chase a fortune in
ancient Native American artifacts... and the answers to a
strange disappearance that could be the death of them all.
