Janelle Brown Bücher

Janice hat alles, was eine Frau braucht: einen erfolgreichen Ehemann, zwei reizende Töchter und eine prächtige Villa vor San Francisco. Als ein genialer Börsencoup ihres Mannes der Familie Millionen beschert, scheint ihr Glück vollkommen. Doch plötzlich stürzt ihr perfektes Leben ein. Janice wacht an einem entscheidenden Tag auf, der alles verändern wird. Die einsamen Wochenenden, an denen Paul früh das Haus verließ, und die langen Abende, die sie allein verbrachte, sind vorbei. Endlich ist der Tag gekommen, auf den Paul so lange hingearbeitet hat. Als Janice das Radio einschaltet, erfährt sie, dass der Börsengang von Pauls Unternehmen die Nachricht des Tages ist und die Kurse kurz nach der Emission explodieren. Sie ist überglücklich und plant, ihrem Mann einen gebührenden Empfang zu bereiten. Doch als sie am Abend im kleinen Schwarzen die Tür öffnet, steht nicht ihr Mann vor ihr, sondern ein Bote, der ihr die Scheidungspapiere überreicht. Janice ist völlig perplex und erkennt, dass ihr Leben sich in einem Augenblick von Glück in ein Chaos verwandelt hat.

A series of seismic events--the tanking of Claudia's film, the return of Jeremy's manipulative ex-girlfriend, and the staggering adjustment of their monthly mortgage payments--deal a crushing blow to a young married couple dreaming of the bohemian life and their professional aspirations, and make them question their values and their shared vision of the future.

<b>Two wildly different women - one a grifter, the other an heiress - are brought together by the scam of a lifetime in a page-turner from the <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>Watch Me Disappear</i>.</b> Nina once bought into the idea that her fancy liberal arts degree would lead to a fulfilling career. When that dream crashed, she turned to stealing from rich kids in L.A. alongside her wily Irish boyfriend, Lachlan. Nina learned from the best: Her mother was the original con artist, hustling to give her daughter a decent childhood despite their wayward life. But when her mom gets sick, Nina puts everything on the line to help her, even if it means running her most audacious, dangerous scam yet. Vanessa is a privileged young heiress who wanted to make her mark in the world. Instead she becomes an Instagram influencer—traveling the globe, receiving free clothes and products, and posing for pictures in exotic locales. But behind the covetable façade is a life marked by tragedy. After a broken engagement, Vanessa retreats to her family’s sprawling mountain estate, Stonehaven: a mansion of dark secrets not just from Vanessa’s past, but from that of a lost and troubled girl named Nina. Nina’s, Vanessa’s, and Lachlan’s paths collide here, on the cold shores of Lake Tahoe, where their intertwined lives give way to a winter of aspiration and desire, duplicity and revenge. This dazzling, twisty, mesmerizing novel showcases acclaimed author Janelle Brown at her best, as two brilliant, damaged women try to survive the greatest game of deceit and destruction they will ever play.
