HONEYMOON GONE WRONG (THE HENDRICKS FAMILY SERIES #1) PAPERBACK

Twelve years ago, Nia Jackson was hired as a maid by the Hendricks, a moderately well-to-do family in the small town of Westerspring. Calamity soon falls upon the matriarch, Helena Hendricks, who perishes in a deadly car accident. Her husband, Albury Hendricks and their two daughters are suddenly bereft of Helena’s nurturing presence. But when Nia’s obliging nature helps soothe the grief of such loss, she is unexpectedly thrust into a role she is afraid to explore – the role of Albury’s new love interest.

But the attraction between them is undeniable and within less than two years of Helena’s death, Albury and Nia tie the knot. On the advice of a close friend, Albury Hendricks and his new wife plan a five-day romantic getaway to the exotic Fiji Islands to consummate their marriage. It is supposed to be the honeymoon of the century, set against the milieu of one of the world’s most picturesque views. There is nothing on Albury’s and Nia’s radar to suggest that grave danger is on the horizon. It strikes without warning. Will they survive the unforeseen forces of darkness that will undoubtedly shake their brand-new marriage to the core?

Not all members of the Hendricks clan are on board with the romance that so quickly developed between Albury and Nia. Albury’s elder daughter, the snobbish Penelope Hendricks doesn’t trust Nia and is hellbent on proving that Nia only married her father for the Hendricks’ money. Penelope’s misgivings, however, don’t sit well with her sister, Tegan Hendricks. Tegan loves Nia and defends Nia without question. This creates high-energy drama between the sisters. But when a heartbreaking broadcast from Fiji unravels and is blasted all over the six o’clock news, it rocks the sisters’ world. Will it bring them together or tear them further apart?

Book one, Honeymoon Gone Wrong, reveals the malevolent propensities of the human heart, especially when jealousy, greed and distrust wages a toxic battle between good and evil. With unstoppable drama, sharp dialogue, and a slate of strong, complex characters, the Hendricks family takes center stage in H.H. Fowler’s brand-new family saga
