Award winning Investigative Reporter Ivory Addison has been on the scene of every Local, National, and International event deemed newsworthy. Her work ethic has a certain je ne sais quoi, that has not gone unnoticed. But is that a good thing? When Television Execs offer top dollar for Ivory to host her own True Crime Show, is it to advance her career or help uncover secrets? As Ivory interviews, Amalia Havoc, she can’t help but wonder if she bit off more than she could chew by accepting this new opportunity.

From Amazon charts bestselling author and award-winning, Monica Arya comes the much-anticipated sequel of THE FAVORITE GIRL..

Welcome to Ivory Island where all of your deepest and darkest desires can come true…

In life, it’s always the goal to be the most loved, respected and adored. The favorite, if you will. However, Demi Rao has realized that being the favorite isn’t always a dream come true. Being the favorite can be your worst nightmare. After barely escaping, Demi finds herself at the gorgeous, one-of-a-kind, exclusive resort run by her former psychopath boss, Dr. Ivory’s younger brother.

As she begins her new job, she knows that the ocean-views and amenities are all a façade. The resort has an all-inclusive experience not limited to food and drinks but rather a sick and twisted way to fulfill everyone’s wildest dreams and fantasies without judgement. Couples are carefully selected and invited, some go missing, and others are found tied up…

Demi can’t live with herself if she doesn’t find a way to end the Ivory family once and for all. The only problem is she may go from the favorite girl to the caged girl if she’s caught.

And once you’re in the gilded cage, you’ll never get out.

Perfect for fans of Jeneva Rose and Charlie Donlea, the chilling new book from the New York Times bestselling author of The Wife Before is an insidiously sexy and twisty novel of seduction, betrayal, and obsession about the increasingly dangerous alliance between a betrayed wife and the Other Mistress.

Adira Smith-Cortez knows how to turn around a troubled past. Now she’s a self-made multi-millionaire who takes exquisite care of herself and her only true love: her husband, Gabriel. Adira has it all—except the answer to one tormenting question: why is attentive, affectionate Gabriel cheating on her with not just one, but two women. There’s sexy Jocelyn, a club owner. And then there’s Julianna, a celebrity makeup artist he’s even crazier about. In a tricky twist, vengeful Jocelyn offers Adira the perfect plan to get her straying spouse back . . .

It sounds simple: Adira will befriend Julianna through a fake identity, play on her and Gabriel’s vulnerabilities and cause them to split up permanently. Determined to reclaim her happiness, Adira won’t—can’t—stop to think what could possibly go wrong . . .

Until too many of Gabriel’s lies start adding up to a disquieting truth. Until Julianna discovers who Adira really is—and Jocelyn pushes Adira to ever-more-unthinkable extremes. With her world collapsing and shattering memories tearing her apart, how far will Adira’s obsession take her—and how much of herself is she willing to lose in the process . . .

Now, it might cost her everything.

Camille Bell never wanted to raise her husband’s mistake. RJ, the son of Ryan’s most public betrayal, was a constant reminder of everything she lost—the picture-perfect life, the adoring husband, the future she was promised. But instead of casting him aside, she did what no one expected. She made him hers.

RJ grew into everything Camille wanted in a son—strong, ambitious, successful. Unlike her own child, Gideon, who always seemed to fall short.

Then a girl is murdered at a high school party. And all signs point to RJ.

Camille knows what happens to jocks accused of crimes. The media frenzy. The courtroom battles. The public trial before the real one even begins. She knows the justice system won’t wait for the truth. So, she does what she swore she’d never do—she protects him.

But the deeper she digs, the more she realizes RJ isn’t the only one with secrets. Someone in her house is a killer.

And the closer she gets to the truth, the more she starts to wonder—has she been raising a monster?

You’ll gasp. You’ll question everything. Then you’ll go back and read it again.
A shocking, fast-paced psychological thriller packed with twists you won’t see coming.
