Edward had a great life and a wonderful wife. Then his wife became a stranger and his life was torn apart by a sinister plot centered upon who and what Carole really was. When he dug to find the truth, he learned that he had never truly known his wife at all. Cheating and deception was just the start of it! When the plotters beat him up and threatened him with ruin, he ended any hold they might have over him and died, more or less. For a while, at least. Until he got bored.

Teri, Dana, and Mike have been dating each other for most of the school year, but summer vacation brings new challenges: a move, a wedding, a career—not to mention a few troublesome sisters. The triad must deal with the changes in their lives, both together and apart. A novel-length sequel to “Third Time’s the Charm.”
