Desdimona Green has been the name on everyone's lips in Blink, Texas. Twenty-five years ago, at the age of eighteen, she shot and killed one of Blink's wealthiest men, a pillar of the community, oil baron Julian Gatewood. The Gatewood family was considered untouchable, so the whole state of Texas was rocked to its core over Julian's murder. But people were even more shocked to discover that Desi was Julian's daughter and that her mother had been his lover for years.
When Desi gets out of jail and promptly inherits millions from Julian's estate, everyone knows that there is much more to the story-and Desi Green is the keeper of the Gatewood secrets, including what happened the night Julian died. When a famous true-crime reporter shows up on her doorstep wanting the full story, Desi agrees to reveal all, much to the horror of the Gatewoods, who will do anything to stop her. But Desi has more than a few tricks up her sleeve."
"Six months ago her three daughters walked out and left Charlotte Rodgers to fend for herself in her small home in Murphy, Kansas. Charlotte is left resentful and bitter toward her children-Clarice, Connie, and especially Camille-for abandoning her when all she wanted was to return home, finally, to Denver and escape from the memories of her painful past. What Charlotte doesn't know is that the past is hot on her trail and, to her horror, will soon catch up with her once again.
Justin and Clarice "Reesy" Braxton are struggling to hold on to what's left of their marriage.
