Summary
Tara thought she was finally settling down when she married the handsome Dr. Cavin Lattimore. Just as she was willing to overlook his gambling habits, she discovers his secret meetings with Sophia, his ex-girlfriend and his son Eli's occasional girlfriend. Life gets more complicated when Tara's niece, Kayla, starts hooking up with Eli. In a matter of weeks, Tara has gone from rich, single San Francisco professional to Lake Tahoe housewife managing her niece's whiplash moods, while resisting her stepson's sexual advances. Adding to the family drama is her younger sister, Melody, who's having a serious marital breakdown, which means she might know something about her husband and Tara's dalliance years ago. As Tara's fragile trust in her family teeters, timed with the arrival of people from her past, she can't shake the feeling that someone's watching her. Tara has always considered herself a tough, self-made woman after surviving a childhood defined by poverty, abuse and neglect. For years, she suffered from the sins of others and committed a few of her own. Now she wonders if the misdeeds of her past are about to catch up with her
