She has always wanted to meet her real father and to find out who killed her mother. Leaving Paris and returning to Atlanta to marry Antonio Vance, the governor's son, in a wedding fit for a princess, she brings three friends. After being away for seven years, her Georgia homecoming is everything she hoped it would be. Yet once she settles in, things don't seem so peachy. She worries about the fate of Lance Carpenter, the dashing firefighter who saved her life seven years ago, who now sits on death row for a murder she believes he didn't commit. She cannot marry Antonio until Lance's case is settled.

Book excerpt: Q: What does a parent need to survive the college application process? A. A sense of humor. B. A therapist on 24-hour call. C. A large bank balance. D. All of the above. Getting In is the roller-coaster story of five very different Los Angeles families united by a single obsession: acceptance at a top college, preferably one that makes their friends and neighbors green with envy. At an elite private school and a nearby public school, families devote themselves to getting their seniors into the perfect school--even if the odds are stacked against them, even if they can't afford the $50,000 annual price tag, even if the effort requires a level of deceit, and even if the object of all this attention wants to go somewhere else. Getting In is a delightfully smart comedy of class and entitlement, of love and ambition, set in a world where a fat envelope from a top school matters more than anything . . . almost.

To save her reputation and stay out of prison, Rosemary has to find the real murderer. There’s no shortage of suspects, including a womanizing race car driver; a powerful music producer; Hollywood's hottest leading man; and, oh yeah, Felix, the dead woman's stepson—which gets a bit awkward when Rosemary starts dating him. Things go from bad to worse after a romantic dinner with Felix ends in food poisoning. Rosemary finds herself unattached, unemployed, and once again on the wrong side of the LAPD. She knows how to salvage an oversalted sauce, but can she salvage the disaster that is her life? Sage of Innocence: Sage Field loves being a nanny for the children of a PGA golfer. But when her boss is implicated in the murder of a rival golfer and loses his endorsement contracts, the family’s going to have to cut costs—and Sage's job is on the chopping block. Sage convinces Roman, his caddy, to help her clear their boss's name and keep their jobs. They unearth a secret that's been hidden for a quarter of a century, discover a box of cash, and stumble onto a blackmail scheme. In the process, Sage discovers that Roman's been keeping some secrets of his own. Sage and Roman will be lucky to save their lives, let alone their jobs.

Victor and Thyme stumble onto evidence that suggests she’s been murdered. But nothing's as it seems, and Victor's holding back information. As they hunt for Victor’s missing sister, they’re being hunted themselves and every step closer to the truth brings them another step closer to danger.
