Secret Lives — Gayle Farmer

Terry Wagner has one thing going for her most battered wives don't: Ella Russell, her tenacious and loving twin sister. Bold and fearless, she's good with a gun, has powerful friends and a unique weapon she's not afraid to use. With her indomitable spirit, vivid imagination and fierce devotion to her twin, Ella is a formidable adversary. After a brutal beating, it's clearly kill or be killed, so they devise a plan to murder Terry's husband, Bob Wagner. When he demands that Terry accompany him to their remote mountain cabin for a vacation, Bob gives the girls the perfect setting and opportunity. Knowing they need help, Ella discloses their scheme to her fiancé, Jim Sessions. He takes the job of backup man, but he has a better idea and he's not sharing it with the girls. Tension mounts on both sides as the trip approaches. Little do they know Bob Wagner has plans of his own. Hollywood provides the perfect setting for intrigue, nestled among the rich and infamous and filled with dark mysteries. Secret Lives twists and turns its way through one shocking revelation after another, leaving the reader laughing one moment and gasping the next when another impossible tidbit from Bob's past threatens Terry's future.
