The Wedding Toast That Buried Them
Four weeks before her wedding, family-law attorney Emma Hart sees her fiancé kissing her younger sister outside a roadside motel.

But when Emma’s mother demands forgiveness, she awakens a twenty-two-year-old secret powerful enough to destroy far more than one marriage.
