About the Book
The Mackenzie family lives in a small suburb in California on Crystal Street. They would appear to have the perfect life, but things are about to change. After all, they are a big family—and big families have big secrets. The sudden violent death of a neighbor brings drastic consequences to all their lives. Meanwhile, Carla Mackenzie deals with a recent and sudden love for a very rich man. Her son, Matt, falls under a similar spell in regards to the mysterious stranger. Mery Mackenzie tries to reconnect with an old friend only to realize too late that her old friend is anything but the same. Thales, Matt’s cousin, struggles to reveal his true self to the family. The Mackenzie matriarch, Carlota, is aggrieved to hear of the death of an old acquaintance—but she soon becomes a suspect in the case, accused by her best friend. Samantha Roberts returns to the old neighborhood after eighteen years away, harboring a secret she hopes to keep under wraps. Murder, blackmail, love, and hate converge on the peaceful streets of California, and nothing will ever be the same.
