Secrets Among Friends

For readers of Terry McMillan, Shanora Williams, Tia Williams, Kennedy Ryan, and Regina Black, an insightful and suspenseful novel about four women fighting to save their sisterhood in the face of shattering betrayals . . .

Best friends know your deepest truths, secrets—and how to make or break you.

Friends since college, Farrah, Evie, Devyn, and Kalee, aka “The Woodlaw Honies,” bonded in seemingly unbreakable ways—despite their very different personalities. Now as successful women they still hold stronger than ever. But even the strongest friendships can have an expiration date . . .

Socialite Farrah is used to keeping up appearances, including putting up with her cheating NFL star husband. But a shocking discovery sends her spiraling into paranoia—and determined to make the culprit pay for her collapsing life—even if it’s a best friend . . .

College professor Devyn keeps love at a distance by having no-strings entanglements with married men. Still, she jumps at the chance to get answers from the fiancé who mysteriously ghosted her—until she learns who really caused her heartbreak . . .

Playing group peacemaker and dealing with family drama has given Kalee, a popular radio show host, a negative take on relationships. But a second chance at a lost love might change that—if she can stay out of her own way . . .

Rising star attorney Evie is done pretending to want a traditional dream life, but a revelation and an ultimatum are about to detonate her carefully curated plans . . .

With their secrets weaponized and their lives colliding, an explosive confrontation soon has them questioning if they ever really knew each other. When the smoke clears, can they pick up the pieces . . . or will they decide it’s the end of the Woodlaw Honies, forever?
