The Carson Springs Trilogy

Three addictive novels of romance and suspense in a small California town from the New York Times–bestselling author of The Diary and Garden of Lies.

In Stranger in Paradise, the first book of Eileen Goudge’s bestselling Carson Springs series, an unlikely wedding upends the tranquil California town. It isn’t easy to watch your daughter marry a man who’s twice her age, but Samantha Kiley holds her tongue. Wes seems like a good man, and it doesn’t hurt that he’s also a billionaire. She has no idea that she will soon be caught up in a May–December affair of her own that will set tongues wagging and complicate her idyllic small-town life.

In A Taste of Honey, Gerry Fitzgerald is about to take her vows as a nun and yet she is not at peace. She found illicit passion in the arms of Father Jim, and now she is pregnant. Three decades later, Gerry goes in search of the daughter she gave up for adoption—with life-changing consequences. . . .

And in Wish Come True, a young woman fights for freedom after being arrested for the murder of her sister. The world loves Monica Vincent, and her sister Anna has always tried to love her, too. As her sister’s personal assistant, Anna spends her days catering to Monica's every whim. But Monica is cruel, and when a car accident leaves her in a wheelchair, her treatment of Anna gets even worse. When Monica is found floating facedown in her swimming pool, the police see Anna as the likely culprit. To keep herself from jail, Anna digs for the truth, desperate to learn who killed the sister she hated.
