Perfect lives. Perfect lies.
The brand new novel from the global bestselling author of The Devil Wears Prada
Peyton Marcus is the woman New York wakes up to, anchor of the most-watched morning show in the city. With a husband who adores her and a daughter who’s headed to one of the best Ivy League schools, Peyton Marcus is that woman, and she’s damn good at it…
Skye, her sister, is a stay-at-home mom in Paradise, the idyllic NY suburb that’s home to designer boutiques and people who fly private. She has a knack for helicopter-parenting with the best of them. But she’s not like them. She’s looking for something real and it’s within touching distance…
Max, Peyton’s bright and quirky seventeen-year-old daughter, is poised to kiss the fancy private school she hates goodbye – and all of its spoiled rich kids – and head off to pursue her dreams in film. She’s waited her entire life for this opportunity…
But suddenly the grass isn’t looking so green. One little lie. That was all it took. Will any of them survive the truth?

*Consequences*
Peyton has worked hard to get where she is. A journalist and now a news anchor. She is in love with her husband Issac and has a quirky intelligent daughter MacKenzie. Peyton is used to the media world and the need to report breaking news then all of a sudden her family are catapulted into the spotlight. Her husband is seen on tv being led away in cuffs from their apartment!!!
When she finds out the reason she is gobsmacked because she is the reason and her husband is taking the fall. She had already discussed what she was planning and Issac specifically warned her it was a bad idea.
All her so called friends distanced themselves away and the guilt starts to eat at her as it ruins the close relationship of her husband and daughter and her sister Skye who is on the verge of opening a new business comes crashing down as her investor pulls out. Then her work put her leave.
The prestigious university that Peyton wanted for Mackenzie rescinds their offer. Was it really worth what she did? To make matters worse she covered a similar story and was outraged.
Will Peyton continue with the lie or come clean? What will she learn from this experience? ….
