Book Description
Meet the trophy wives of Presidio Terrace, San Francisco’s most exclusive—and most deadly—neighborhood in this shrewd, darkly compelling novel from the New York Times bestselling author of In Her Shadow. Mystery writer Brooke Davies is the new wife on the block. Her tech-billionaire husband, Jack, twenty-two years her senior, whisked her to the Bay Area via private jet and purchased a modest mansion on the same day. He demands perfection, and before now, Brooke has had no problem playing the role of a doting housewife. But as she befriends other wives on the street and spends considerable time away from Jack, he worries if he doesn’t control Brooke’s every move, she will reveal the truth behind their “perfect” marriage. Erin King, famed news anchor and chair of the community board, is no stranger to maintaining an image—though being married to a plastic surgeon helps. But the skyrocketing success of her career has worn her love life thin, and her professional ambitions have pushed Mason away. Quitting her job is a Hail Mary attempt at keeping him interested, to steer him away from finding a young trophy wife. But is it enough, and is Mason truly the man she thought he was? Georgia St. Claire allegedly cashed in on the deaths of her first two husbands, earning her the nickname “Black Widow”—and the stares and whispers of her curious neighbors. Rumored to have murdered both men for their fortunes, she claims to have found true love in her third marriage, yet her mysterious, captivating allure keeps everyone guessing. Then a tragic accident forces the residents of Presidio Terrace to ask: Has Georgia struck again? And what is she really capable of doing to protect her secrets?

Book Description
"Devin Yorke may look the part - she's young, gorgeous, and married to one of L.A.'s most desirable and powerful men - Paul Bradshaw, founder and owner of L.A. Garb, the largest clothes manufacturer in the country. Yet while she does add luster to the image of any man lucky enough to have her arm draped around his own, Devin Yorke is not a woman who fits the bill of Trophy Wife. She is a nineties woman who's got the brains to match her beauty, and the drive and ambition to rival any man - even her powerhouse husband. And now the lovely young Devin is at the end of her rope, tormented by her husband's coldness and infuriated by his arrogance and monumental ego." "On the very same day that Devin decides she can bear it no longer, Paul turns up dead. Her husband's recent decision to base his hot, new apparel division in South Central to help rebuild that riot-torn sector of Los Angeles had made his reputation soar to heroic proportions. But while the public grieves his loss, those close to him stand only to gain from his demise, making the list of suspects remarkably full. Sam, Paul's ne'er-do-well brother, is in line to inherit the business. His sex-pot assistant and former mistress, Alex, gets to hold onto her job - and maybe much more. There's a whole slew of scorned lovers, including tossed-aside ex-wife Rosemary, who have long harbored dreams of revenge. There's also a group of employees who are fed up with being cheated and have possibly been pushed aside one time too many; and, of course, there is his widow, Devin, who has the most to gain, and becomes the main murder suspect."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
