Synopsis

In her mind's eyes, she could see Wes, tall and elegant in his tailored tuxedo with a patterned vest, black tie, and snow white pocket square. Her red Valentino slip gown highlighted her honeyed complexion and chocolate brown eyes. The gown also picked up the red in Wes's vest and the red in the rose in his lapel.

They were the perfect couple and it was show time. And she wanted to scream.

Madison Reed, popular talk show host and America's darling and her husband, well-known TV correspondent Wes Reed is everyone's idea of the perfect couple. Bute knows that after the loss of their child, they became no more than polite strangers, maintaining the façade, revealing only picture perfect happiness. But Madison's world is turned upside down when Wes is critically injured in a car accident and a woman is killed. Before he dies, Wes confesses that the woman who was killed was his mistress---and that he is the father of her nine-month-old daughter, Manda. He begs Madison to raise the child. Unsure if she can, Madison struggles to take charge of her fate and put her life back together. Overwhelmed, she accepts the help of Zachary Holman, her husband's best friend, only to discover that his life is also shrouded by lies. Can she forgive and forget---not just once, but twice?

ONCE IN A LIFETIME

From all appearances, Madison and Wes Reed are a picture-perfect couple. Madison is a popular talk show host; Wes is a respected TV correspondent. But behind the public smiles, Madison knows her marriage is a lie. Ever since the loss of their child, she's felt a distance between them. But when a fatal car wreck claims the life of her husband--and his mistress--Madison discovers more shocking secrets than she ever suspected ...

TWICE IN LOVE

The biggest surprise of all is a beautiful baby girl named Manda--the illegitimate child her husband left behind. Madison struggles to welcome her into her home and her heart. But when she accepts the help of Zachery Holman--her husband's best friend--Madison wonders if she's taking on too much. Zachery promises to be the anchor she needs, even if he does have secrets of his own. If Madison hopes to move on with her life, and her love, she has to learn to forgive--not just once, but twice...

"I Know Who Holds Tomorrow [is] a tale of ultimate betrayal, family

secrets and shame, the power of love and unselfishness of the human spirit."
