Closely Guarded Secrets (The Bayou Sisters #1)
Tess Flowers

A photographer living her best life in LA, the eldest sister, Grace, left home and never looked back for personal reasons. The first love she left behind has never been forgotten, but the secrets among them were enough to keep her running. Now, she hides under the glitz of her life, a heart guarded and unable to fully let anyone in. But that is about to change with bumping into Daniel again at her father’s funeral.
Mackenzie is the youngest and most reckless of the group while on the façade living a well-put-together life.
Her husband’s dealings will cause her to flee from him, hoping to find refuge in her childhood home. Unfortunately, she might be running from one danger, back to town and secrets that could cut short her relief.
Stuck in the middle (and in DeRidder), Leslie has always resented her sisters for leaving her to care for their parents and live her “ordinary” life. Trapped in the life she pretends is perfect, she begins to feel the weight of her decisions at the tragic ending of her father’s life.
Alexis appears to be the only level-headed one, except she can’t seem to commit to anything, especially the handsome doctor who has long hoped to capture her heart.
And while trying to cope with the loss of her father, career, and her boyfriend turning out to be a swindler all at once, Rose, the family mediator, shields a secret that could easily destroy the sisterly bond they all share.
As each sister faces the truth about themselves and their family, tension continues to bubble up, and soon they will all face revelations none of them are prepared to address.
