Eighteen years ago, in a hotel on a small island off the Washington coast, Madeline and Daphne are forever bound by the terrible events of a dark night filled with bloody death. Though they swear to be secret sisters, their lives take different paths after leaving the island that night.

Now living in Arizona, Madeline has recently inherited a company of boutique hotels following her grandmother's mysterious death. Though not wanting to do so, Madeline must return to the island's abandoned hotel. It seems the secret she and Daphne have been hiding for almost two decades has been exposed -- and someone else has died because of it.

Knowing she cannot go to the island unprotected, and not trusting the local police, Madeline enlists the aid of the hotel chain's security expert, Jack Rayner. Though Jack's fledgling security business is small, Madeline trusts him to handle whatever situation arises. Jack strongly affects her senses, and from past personal experiences, they both know about living with secrets. With Jack's computer-guru brother, Abe, as well as Daphne, joining them on the island, the team of four must confront a vicious killer before more lives are lost.

In SECRET SISTERS, Jayne Ann Krentz keeps a mysterious plot progressing swiftly as romance blossoms during adversity. As always, characterization is precise and the atmospheric description of locale gives an edgy feel to the plotline. Krentz is a first-rate novelist of romantic suspense, and SECRET SISTERS is another example of her expertise.

Book Summary

No one does romantic suspense better than Jayne Ann Krentz. Now, the New York Times bestselling author of Trust No One and River Road delivers a novel that twists and turns into a read that will leave you breathless.

Madeline and Daphne were once as close as sisters—until a secret tore them apart. Now it might take them to their graves.

They knew his name, the man who tried to brutally attack twelve-year-old Madeline in her grandmother's hotel. They thought they knew his fate. He wouldn't be bothering them anymore...ever. Still their lives would never be the same.

Madeline has returned to Washington after her grandmother's mysterious death. And at the old, abandoned hotel—a place she never wanted to see again—a dying man’s last words convey a warning: the secrets she and Daphne believed buried forever have been discovered.

Now, after almost two decades, Madeline and Daphne will be reunited in friendship and in fear. Unable to trust the local police, Madeline summons Jack Rayner, the hotel chain’s new security expert. Despite the secrets and mysteries that surround him, Jack is the only one she trusts...and wants.

Jack is no good at relationships but he does possess a specific skill set that includes a profoundly intimate understanding of warped and dangerous minds. With the assistance of Jack's brother, Abe, a high-tech magician, the four of them will form an uneasy alliance against a killer who will stop at nothing to hide the truth....
