About this ebook

Three D.C. wives become friends as they weather the storms in their tumultuous lives in this dramatic novel.

Married to some of Washington, D.C.’s most influential men, Bethany, Deanna and Marisol are on the guest list at every high-profile political and social event. And when they meet at a fundraiser, they forge a deep, unexpected friendship.

Beneath the glamour, all three are struggling to hide the void in their marriages. Bethany’s teenage stepdaughter is wreaking chaos at home, and to escape, Bethany begins writing an anonymous, dirt-dishing gossip column. Deanna is a successful event planner, longing for a baby and unaware of her husband’s double life. Marisol, too, is desperate to start a family, and starting to question her husband’s commitment, and her own.

As their friendship deepens, Bethany, Marisol and Deanna help each other decide how far they’ll go to fulfill their desires. Because in passion—as in politics—one mistake can change everything . . .
