"What's Done In The Dark" by "Gloria Mallette"

Sibling rivalry has kept sisters Celeste and Katrina apart for years, but when tragedy strikes each and they find themselves widows and their husbands' ugly secrets are exposed to the light of day, can sisters who hate each other work together to right wrongs, or will their hate be ultimate undoing.
Book of the Month (June 2009) |
|
"Diary of a Mistress" by "Miasha"
What should a wife believe? The words of her husband or the diary of his mistress?
From the author of Secret Society, two women struggle to separate fact and fiction in this tale of love and jealousy.
Monica counts her blessings-she has a husband who is not only devoted to her, but committed to being a strong, caring father to their twin sons. When Carlos surprise her with an unforgettably romantic getaway Monica knows her husband is still very much in love with her-and she with him. But an unexpected package threatens to change everything Monica’s ever believed about her husband.
Bitter from her experiences with a cheating husband, Angela has adopted a sex-them-and-leave-them attitude towards the married men she’s bedded over the last five years. Then she met Carlos. Now, she will stop at nothing to get him for herself-even if that means destroying her own life and another woman’s family. |
