The author’s next adult fiction novel is the third book in the Beauregard Family series about family ties, long-buried secrets, dead bodies, and a middle-aged woman facing the tragic circumstances of her past decisions.

Born into prominence, Scarlet has followed in her mother’s footsteps and is the current matriarch of the Beauregard family. Scarlet has done everything she was taught to do by her parents and is mired in obligations and expectations. She followed the same high society playbook her mother used but with disastrous results. Scarlet finds herself saddled in a marriage with a man who does not love her, left alone to deal with the death of her son, all but penniless, and emotionally and physically broken.

The secret life Scarlet has worked to keep buried is exposed to the light. And, in doing so, Scarlet must deal with the aftermath. As Scarlet grapples with the circumstances that brought her back to her childhood home, she learns the truth surrounding her marriage, her son, and herself. Entrusted with a secret left in a safe deposit box by her deceased mother-in-law, Scarlet begins to put her life back together again. She sees things from a fresh perspective and with new hope. Old enemies rear their heads, new friendships are formed, budding relationships abound, business opportunities present themselves, and Scarlet confronts the woman she admires and detests- her mother.

She must decide who and what she is going to become. And for the first time ever, on her own terms.

But first, she has to learn to trust herself again.
