is dead and he never believed his daughters accusations, he is broke. Mrs. Winters owns the real estate agency and Kate is attempting to buy a new house with

She is able to confront the girl and her sister, her dad, her mother and her lawyer. She tells them what future the girl will have now and
there is not a thing anybody can do to stop it. ( )

This is the first book I've read by Fern Micheals; it will definitely not be my last. Alex and Kate's marriage may have been a little too perfect, but it played really well into the twist later in the book. The story will suck you in and not let go, long after the last page.

Kate and Alex have a perfect marriage, but are childless. Don, Alex’s best friend and his wife Debbie have a strained marriage, and two daughters, Sara and Emily, who they leave with Kate and Alex whenever they have a cruise to go on, or want some time to themselves. Sara accuses Alex of molesting her, and while innocent he is sent to prison for twenty years. Kate seeks to get him a new trial, but when he is killed in prison, decides instead to seek revenge. A good “lazy day” book, entertaining. ( )

This was my first Fern Michaels book but it definitely will not be my last. I thoroughly enjoyed this one as I devoured it in one day. I thought it was well written and I could identify with the characters. I would recommend this one to friends as an enjoyable easy read. ( )
