The Story
Long-ago sins. A family on the brink.
Set against the seduction of Palm Beach high society, Palm Beach Confidential is a riveting novel of deception, power, and survival.
Lucinda Barrows came to Palm Beach to escape her past-and conquer a world defined by wealth, beauty, and ruthless social codes. Now she has everything she set out to claim: a seat at every elite table and three stunning daughters basking in the shelter of privilege.
Beneath the family's renown, Lucinda's life is in turmoil. Out of nowhere, her carefully constructed legacy is threatened. While discretion is offered, the price is steep. Suddenly the daughters are forced to choose between their mother and the truth. Who will prevail ... and who will fall from grace?
