A suspenseful read that feels just as suffocating as the dry California air in which it is set, She Didn’t Stand a Chance takes readers on a wild journey of jealousy, lies, and family secrets with deadly consequences.

Intrigued? Well read on to discover the synopsis and an excerpt from Stacie Grey’s She Didn’t Stand a Chance, which is out now.

The desert heat can be deadly. But nothing kills like a cold heart.

Gertie hasn’t seen her siblings since she was a toddler. Now, she’s back at the family home she barely remembers, summoned there to witness the reading of her father’s will. Shockingly, Gertie stands to inherit a substantial portion of the family business and her father’s prized Palm Springs home. And no one is more surprised―and angry―about Gertie’s inclusion in the will than her sisters and brothers.

Trapped in a remote house that doesn’t feel like home with siblings that don’t feel like family, Gertie is isolated in more ways than one. And when she discovers that her father may have been murdered, and a member of the household staff dies not long before she has a near-deadly accident of her own, she realizes she’ll be lucky to get out of this unexpected family reunion alive.

Read An Excerpt From ‘She Left’ by Stacie Grey

Twenty years ago, she survived. This time she may not be so lucky.

Intrigued? Well read on to discover the synopsis and an excerpt from Stacie Grey’s She Left, which is out May 14th 2024.

On the night that changed everything, Amy Brewer walked out of a house party, trudging angrily away from the friends who made her feel like she didn’t belong. Within the next hour, all five of those friends would be dead.

The Memorial Day Massacre, as it came to be called, rocked their small California community and Amy―the girl who had walked away just in time―couldn’t escape the media circus…or the guilt.

Twenty years later, ten people with connections to the crime have been invited to a remote cliffside house by a journalist looking to do a story on the murders. But the group quickly learns the event is not what it seems. As a storm closes in and guests begin to die, Amy realizes there is someone in the house who knows more than they admit about what happened that night long ago… and they will stop at nothing to protect their secrets.
