A man with a shattering talent…The art world’s favorite bad boy, Diego Davis painted like an angel, loved like the devil and died with his secrets. He left behind the masterpiece that defined him, the gorgeous little town that inspired him, and the three women who loved him — his wife, his sister, and the girl he never loved back. The woman he widowed…Addison Davis’s marriage was terrible … terrible a mistake but she can’t bring herself to regret it. Diego had his faults, but his roots were strong and deep, and he left them with her when he died. Now the girl who never had much of a family has a mother-in-law who’s as loyal to her children as she is ambitious for them, a beauty-queen sister-in-law who’s somehow become Addy’s best friend, and a baby brother-in-law she loves even though he’s starting to resemble Diego in all the worst ways. Only Jax, the black sheep brother, refuses her friendship for reasons he keeps stubbornly to himself.The secrets she keeps…But Addy inherited more than Diego’s family. She inherited his secrets as well. Secrets rooted in a scandal the whole community buried nearly fifteen years earlier. But nobody’s secrets are safe if Addy is going to protect the family she loves — not hers, not Diego’s and certainly not Jax’s. When all is revealed, it becomes clear that only love can truly heal what Diego destroyed. But can Addy find the courage to risk her heart again? Welcome to Devil’s Kettle.

I found this book to be an up and down sort of read. There are many emotions, both happy and sad For me, I prefer a little more action than tons of descriptive emotions. I did not find myself excitedly turning the pages.
This book has a lot to offer, I truly enjoyed it.
The trauma of artistic greatness
Crazy people are often incredibly charming, but they leave devastation in their wake. How is a widowed daughter-in-law supposed to deal with learning her brother-in-law is in love with her and her mother-in-law wants to push her youngest son where his brother had gone? You’ll love these well-drawn characters and stay intrigued throughout the suspense to the end. Good job, author Susan Sey.
My first time to read this author, and I plan to continue with the series. Great dialogue and story line.
Ok…just not my ‘cup o’ tea’.
