New York Times best-selling author Kimberla Lawson Roby has a knack for writing suspenseful, page-turning stories, and her latest novel, Secret Obsession, is no different. The plot contains the same unadulterated and brass story line as some of Roby's other novels, including her best-selling book A Deep Dark Secret.
Secret Obsession revolves around a resentful sister whose life in the shadow fuels the fire for her dangerous and vindictive scheme. Roby blurs the line between fiction and truth with outlandish yet believable narratives.
An author for more than 15 years, Roby has gained recognition from a slew of outlets, including the New York Times, USA Today, the Washington Post, Essence and more. A must-read for fiction thriller fans, Secret Obsessions debuts Sept. 6.
