California Betrayal Katelyn Marie Peterson

New York City transplant Shay Collins is apprehensive about returning to California for her brother's wedding. She knows she'll cross paths with her ex-husband, the drunk, and Jason, her secret high school flame and brother's best man, and she's excited to see her dad, her rock, but facing her manipulative mother is her biggest fear. True to form, Mom's got her nose in everyone's business, but when her brother's ex-girlfriend comes to town, Shay learns the depths of her mother's evil doings, and from there, it only gets worse as more lies are revealed. The wedding is off, her drunk ex is hospitalized after crashing his car, and Jason, the sweet man that he is, can't help her put out all the fires, but when her dad dies suddenly, one final betrayal comes to light, and that one is unforgivable. Through it all, Jason stands beside her, and the flames grow higher.
