Beauty Secrets
Greer Maxwell dreams of life as an independent, successful artist, but the dream isn’t going the way she’d hoped. Entangled in the web of her parents' secrets, her loyalties are constantly tested. Her critical mother, head of a cosmetic surgery club, suspects that her husband is having an affair. And Greer knows it's true. Her father's mistress, Abby, is a member of the club! Topping this how-do-you-do is Greer’s insecurity about her girlfriend's love for her. Greer's best friend is her cat.
When Greer’s handsome but enigmatic half-brother arrives out of the blue and romances who else but Abby, Greer’s agitation shoots through the roof, especially when Abby suddenly disappears and Greer’s father becomes the prime suspect. Greer wants to help him but proving his innocence isn’t so easy. Everyone is hiding something: the surgery club, her unpredictable brother, her dysfunctional parents -- even her cat! But she doesn’t know the half of it — the half set on cold-blooded murder, including her own. So much for dreaming when reality is a nightmare.
