REVENGE IS NEVER OUTDATED.

Sometimes, justice is a long time coming. That's the case

with Julie Wyatt, whose story strikes close to home for

the original founder of the Sisterhood, Myra Rutledge,

and her best friend-and fellow Sister-Annie. Julie is

convinced her greedy daughter-in-law Darlene had

something to do with the mysterious circ.u.mstances

surrounding her son Larry's death. She desperately

wants to get a confession out of Darlene-and to ensure

the safety of Larry's daughter, Olivia. As Myra, Annie,

and their cohorts dig deeper into Darlene's shady

dealings, events unfurl in a way that no one could

have predicted, bringing to light the true meaning of

loyalty and courage-and the kind of friendship that

can create miracles . . .

In a richly rewarding novel filled with unforgettable characters, #1 New York Times bestselling author Fern Michaels explores the enduring bonds of family as one man loses everything-only to find the freedom to create a bold new life . . .

Gus Hollister owes all his success to his feisty grandmother, Rose, and he knows it. It was Rose and her sisters, Iris and Violet, who raised Gus, sent him to the best schools, and helped him start his own accounting business. Rose even bought the house Gus Lives in with his wife, Elaine.

But now, Gus stands to lose everything-his home, his car, and his business. Worse, he's alienated his beloved grandma, who tried to warn him about Elaine's greedy, gold-digging ways. Gus, blinded by infatuation, refused to listen, and now Elaine has locked him out of the house he was foolish enough to put in her name.

Heartsick and remorseful, Gus returns to Rose's Virginia farmhouse seeking shelter. But it won't be easy to make amends. Despite their pretty floral names, there's nothing delicate about the Blossom sisters. Unbeknownst to Gus, they've also been running a very lucrative business from home and don't want interference. Yet family and forgiveness go hand in hand, and Gus isn't giving up.

With the help of close friends, new a.s.sociates, and some very sprightly ladies, Gus begins to repair the damage he's done and help the residents of Blossom Farm begin the next phase of their business. He might even be finding the courage to love again. Because no matter how daunting starting over can be, the results can surpa.s.s your wildest expectations-especially when the Blossom sisters are in your corner . . .

EVERYTHING SHE LOST.

If her abusive husband hadn't tried to kill her and her beloved dog Lucie, Helen Ward might never have left her million-dollar home and run far away. Now Helen's changed her ident.i.ty and moved across the country, hopeful that she can be safe, happy, maybe even loved. And when she meets college professor Sam Tolliver, she begins to believe fairytales do come true.

GAVE HER EVERYTHING SHE EVER WANTED.

But even with love blossoming and her new online business venture taking off, Helen knows that the past is catching up with her...and her fear is growing. Wanting to flee, desperate to get away for good, she'll soon face the biggest decision of her life, a decision that will determine her future and her very ident.i.ty.
