Secrets in Paradise, Paperback

A grieving widow. Her husband's explosive secret. A last-minute wedding with a shocking guest.

Rina Archer is the second-eldest sister in the Archer clan. Like Holly, Amy, and Randy, she was born and raised in Islamorada, an island in the Florida Keys, but abandoned the island the second she could, age eighteen and ready for a bigger and better life.

Everything was perfect. Until it wasn't.

Six months ago, Rina's husband, Dennis, died of a massive heart attack. She and her children are grieving. Her older sister, Holly, continues to call from Islamorada about repairing the Archer House, the Inn where they all grew up, along with a surprise birthday party for their mother's seventieth--but Rina is resentful toward her family that is no longer in her life and refuses to go.

That is, until a woman appears in her life with news that rocks her world forever.

Now, Rina runs toward Islamorada, as a means to escape the secrets that swirl back home--revolving around her husband and another life he might have had that had nothing at all to do with Rina and the boys. As she dives into the once-familiar beauty of the island, she reconnects with old friends, with her sister Holly and her endearing brother, Randy. She finds a level of peace she didn't expect and shoves her secrets down deep.

Soon, through a series of strange circumstances--and a wedding she's decided to help coordinate after the last-minute drop-out of the event planner--she finds herself face-to-face with the ever-handsome, high-school-sweetheart turned chef, Steven.

But no matter how fast she runs, secrets have a way of catching up to her.

That could be said for everyone in the Archer clan. It's safe to say their time is running out.

Lose yourself in this new women's fiction series that revolves around friendship, love and loss among the Archer Clan. A heartwarming family saga that has the backdrop of the Florida Keys white sand and crystal blue waters.
