Book Synopsis
Getting to know her new friend's secrets is becoming a dangerous obsession in a twisting novel of psychological suspense by Washington Post bestselling author Minka Kent.
What are friends for?
Wallflower Cate Cabot has always been content to keep the world at arm's length, particularly from behind the register at the upscale Floridian boutique where she's worked for the last nine years. Her days are filled with old-moneyed locals and nouveau-riche tourists, most of them paying her no mind as she rings up their lavish hauls. Until Odessa DuVernay.
At first glance, Odessa is just another picture-perfect Palm Shores trophy wife--until she proves herself personable, humble, and unassuming. She even goes so far as to take a genuine interest in Cate, inviting her for lunch dates, matinees, and girl talk--a refreshing change of pace for the woman who never quite mastered the art of making (and keeping) friends.
But what begins as an unlikely friendship detours into the unthinkable when Odessa leaves Cate a panicked voicemail asking to meet--and then ghosts her. And worse, when Cate attempts to find her, it's as if the enigmatic Mrs. DuVernay never existed at all. Consumed, Cate refuses to stop searching. But the truth won't come easy. In fact, it could cost her everything.
Revised edition: Previously published as The Trophy Wife by Sunday Tomassetti, this edition of The Trophy Wife includes editorial revisions and a new ending.
