Publisher Description

Welcome back to the sleepy little town of Shakespeare, Arkansas, where secrets come to hide. Lily Bard has joined a group therapy session, determined finally to face her past. It sounds positively enlightening, until the murder of a fellow member sends a warning. But who was the message meant for? Why? And who's next to fall victim to a killer's head games?

"I have to say I knew Lily was pregnant. Those were not PMS symptoms, although I can also believe why she would not suspect being pregnant. I hope this series continues as I am really enjoying Lily's growth. I was more interested in her and Jack in this book than the actual murder. "
