June: A Novel

June: A Novel

From theÂ New York TimesÂ bestselling author ofÂ BittersweetÂ comes a novel of suspense and passion about a terrible mistake made sixty years ago that threatens to change a modern family forever.Â

Twenty-five-year-old Cassie Danvers is holed up in her familyâ€™s crumbling mansion in rural St. Jude, Ohio, mourning the loss of the woman who raised herâ€”her grandmother, June. But a knock on the door forces her out of isolation. Cassie has been named the sole heir to legendary matinee idol Jack Montgomery's vast fortune. How did Jack Montgomery know her name? Could he have crossed paths with her grandmother all those years ago? What other shocking secrets could Juneâ€™s once-stately mansion hold?

Soon Jackâ€™s famous daughters come knocking, determined to wrestle Cassie away from the inheritance they feel is their due. Together, they all come to discover the true reasons for Juneâ€™s silence about that long-ago summer, when Hollywood came to town, and June and Jackâ€™s lives were forever altered by murder, blackmail, and betrayal. As this page-turner shifts deftly between the past and present, Cassie and her guests will be forced to reexamine their legacies, their definition of family, and what it truly means to love someone, steadfastly, across the ages.Â
