*DISCOVER YOUR NEW SUMMER OBSESSION*
One summer's day. Two families. Countless secrets . . .
Kate is new to the idyllic village of Fletching. She's determined this move will be a fresh start for her family, though she misses her old life.
Melody has it all: she's as beautiful as her house, with a wealthy husband and two beloved children. But she'd love a friend she can rely on.
From the year's first school run, Kate and Melody grow close - a friendship formed during playdates and shared glasses of wine.
But when Melody's annual summer party turns into every parent's worst nightmare, a near-fatal accident threatens to expose secrets both women have kept beneath the surface.
Who is really to blame? And what have they been hiding?
