Quiet Time

In some families, things are never what they seem.

Inside his picture-perfect home, Warren Scott runs a tight ship. He demands total respect from his family. He'll accept nothing less. The Scotts are quiet, they keep to themselves--and to the neighbors, they seem like any other family. Then the Scotts' facade shatters one sun-drrenched morning in May.

Sari Siegel is engaged to Tim Scott when his mother is found murdered. Sari barely knows the Scotts, but even she can sense the terrible secrets that seethe below the surface. Sari knows something about Peggy's murder, but she isn't telling... at least not yet. For if she does, her own dreams of a perfect life with Time will shatter.

There are some family traditions no one wants to keep.
