A Woman Like Eve—The Em Suite—Book Five

A Woman Like Eve

In A Woman Like Eve, all is well with Em Martín, Eve and their alternative family circle. Things couldn’t be better. She and her partner are back at home in Bel Air, CA after helping Dot Baverstock get back on her feet in Palm Springs, and have fully embraced their new roles. Em is happy and beyond content, feeling lucky she’s found “the one.” Life is really good. Until… it’s not.

As if on cue, Eve Magnussen’s past, one she’s kept buried for two decades, has suddenly bubbled to the surface. A past, that when fully revealed, has the potential to blow up her perfect life. Prairie Vaughn’s Montana family suffers a health crisis, and Dot encounters danger and experiences a devastating loss. And, in the blink of an eye, everyone’s favorite and seemingly unbreakable couple is on the verge of broken.

What is the line that cannot be crossed… the bridge too far… the things that cannot be undone and threaten to unravel a solid relationship? Will Eve’s past prove too terrible, sordid, and unforgivable? Will love win?

In Book 5 of The Em Suite Series, A Woman Like Eve, Eve reveals her painful and sordid history, taking readers on a not-so-nostalgic trip back to the hedonistic Seventies and Eighties. 

Meanwhile, Em seeks to relocate and create the perfect domain for her growing family.
