Deadly Little Scandals - (Debutantes) by Jennifer Lynn Barnes (Paperback)

About the Book

While spending a summer at the family lake house, eighteen-year-old Sawyer finally learns the full truth about her complicated family.

Book Synopsis

No one is quite who they seem to be in the twisty, soapy, gasp-inducing world of the Debutantes by Jennifer Lynn Barnes, #1 bestselling author of The Inheritance Games.

Think of the White Gloves like the Junior League-- by way of Skull and Bones.

Reluctant debutante Sawyer Taft joined Southern high society for one reason and one reason alone: to identify and locate her biological father. But the answers Sawyer found during her debutante year only left her with more questions and one potentially life-ruining secret.

When her cousin Lily ropes her into pledging a mysterious, elite, and all-female secret society called the White Gloves, Sawyer soon discovers that someone in the group's ranks may have the answers she's looking for. Things are looking up . . . until Sawyer and the White Gloves make a disturbing discovery near the family's summer home--and uncover a twisted secret, decades in the making.
