Once upon a time four aspiring authors met at a writers' conference. Ten years later they're still friends, veterans of the dog-eat-dog New York publishing world.
Mallory St. James is a workaholic whose novels support her and her husband's lavish lifestyle. Tanya Mason juggles two jobs, two kids, and a difficult mother. Faye Truett is the wife if a famous televangelist and the author of inspirational romances; no one would ever guess her explosive secret. Kendall Aims's once-promising career is on the skids - as is her marriage. Her sales have fallen, her new editor can barely feign interest in her work - and her husband is cheating.
Under pressure to meet her next deadline, Kendall holes up in a mountain cabin to confront a blank page and a blanker future. But her friends won't let her face this struggle alone. They collaborate on a novel none of them could write herself, using their own lives as fodder, assuming no one will discover the truth behind their words.
No one is more surprised than they are when the book becomes a runaway bestseller. But with success comes scrutiny and scandal. Now all bets are off...as these four best friends suddenly realize how little they've truly known each other.
