The Secret Sisters

DEAR READERS, Whether writing as Ann Maxwell or Elizabeth Lowell, I’ve always loved the kind of fast-paced story that involves a man, a woman, danger, passion, and something of great beauty. As beauty often involves value, and value often leads to greed, jealousy, and guile, the possibilities are as endless as they are exciting. That’s what I love — the excitement of finding out what happens when you lift the lid of the ordinary world and see what lies waiting beneath. And something always does. In *The Secret Sisters* , the woman is Christy McKenna, a cutting-edge New York fashion writer whose unhappy past lies in the West rather than in Manhattan. The man is Aaron Cain, an outlaw archaelogist who has little good to say about cities or the people who inhabit them. Christy and Cain collide when both of them are in pursuit of her drop-dead beautiful sister, a famous (and infamous) model who has dissapeared in the wild, haunted rock canyons where the ancient Anasazi once made their home. The Anasazi have left something of themselves behind — something men will kill for. Welcome to a dangerous world of ancient spirits and modern greed, of startling beauty and instant death, of deceitful friends and strangers who hold your life in their hands. Have fun.
