Michelle Madow - Diamonds Are Forever

It’s cold outside, but the drama is hot!

The Diamond sisters jet to the mountains for spring break, and Savannah’s flirt-mance with an international pop star heats up as her pursuit of stardom succeeds. But is this romance meant to be, or has the right guy been in front of her all along? Meanwhile, Courtney takes the next step with her secret boyfriend—and future stepbrother—and as their parents’ wedding approaches, the pressure’s on to reveal their relationship.

Peyton’s figuring out a plan for her future, but she still feels guilty about getting her former bodyguard fired and wonders if she can get over him in the arms of someone else. But the biggest bombshell will change everything once again, because Madison’s ready to tell the huge secret she’s uncovered. And with the boy who betrayed her but who could be the love of her life fighting for his own life, she might need the Diamond sisters more than ever.

“There’s no easy way to say this.”

Adrian looked closely at each of them, as though searching for the right words. He took a deep breath and said, “When Courtney found out about Britney, I promised there would be no more secrets. I wanted to have relationships with you, something that I think has been going well, with the Sundays we’ve spent together and our vacation over winter break.”

“Okay...” Courtney’s stomach twisted, feeling as if she wasn’t going to like where he was headed with this.

“The Sundays have been going really well,” Savannah added.

Adrian managed a tight-lipped smile. “There’s something else you need to know. I didn’t tell you originally because it involves other people. Now they’re ready for you to know—they were actually ready weeks ago—but it was around the same time you found out about Britney.” He directed that last part to Courtney. “I knew how hard that was on you—on all three of you—and I didn’t want to drop anything else on you while you were grieving for your sister. But I’m not perfect. I’ve made mistakes, and keeping this from you is one of them.”

“You mean there’s something else you’ve been hiding?” Peyton rolled her eyes. “Why am I not surprised?”

“This is the last secret,” he said. “I promise.”

Praise for Michelle Madow

and The Secret Diamond Sisters

“The exciting—and often terrifying—exploration of the Vegas strip is tempered by the more relatable plotline of the sisters trying to figure out their past.... Gossip Girl meets The Princess Diaries in a city that never sleeps.”

—Booklist

“This quick and entertaining read is filled with glitz and glamour. The Vegas setting fascinates. The Diamond sisters are so different that at least one sibling will be completely relatable to readers, making the novel even more fun. Get ready for one crazy and fabulous ride.”

—RT Book Reviews

“Highly addictive! Hold on tight, because The Secret Diamond Sisters throws you headfirst into the Vegas fast lane. A fun ride not to be missed!”

—Rachel Harris, author of My Super Sweet Sixteenth Century
