SISTERS

A sister can be a woman's closest friend

A golden wedding usually means a family celebration.

But the Hardaway sisters drifted apart years ago. And each has her own reason for wanted no part of a family reunion. As plans for the party proceed, tensions mount, until it even begins to look as if their parents' marriage might fall apart before the big event. Can the daughters put aside old hurts and betrayals for the sake of the family?

Amy Hardaway has managed to persuade her older sister, Megan, to come home to Hurricane Beach to help talk some sense into their parents. Now she has to work on Lisa, the youngest Hardaway. It shouldn't be too difficult. After all, Lisa's gorgeous ex–husband, Jon, is back in town.

Jon Costas has come home to help deal with his missing brother's teenage daughter. He's not interested in seeing his ex–wife again. But he's finding Amy harder and harder to resist. Could he be falling in love with another Hardaway woman? If so, his timing couldn't be worse!

Peg Sutherland

Peg Sutherland (real name Peg Robarchek) is a multi-published, award-winning author of more than 35 books, both fiction and non-fiction. Her most recent release is "In the Territory of Lies," an epistolary novel co-authored with her friend of 20 years, Lois Stickell. They will release their second co-authored novel as soon as they quit arguing about whether or not it needs one more round of revisions -- hopefully sometime during the summer of 2012. Peg says, "Lois and I write about women struggling to do what seems to be the impossible: to bring order to their lives, to make sense of their lives, and to do so with a little humor and grace." Peg is also the editor of the recently released non-fiction book "Creating a World of Difference" by Tana Greene. And she is currently working on a children's book, "Bean Is Born," the story of a puppy who had everybody asking the question, "What's wrong with Bean?"
