To save Meredith, the widows find themselves breaking out of jails and into graveyards, chasing the ghosts of indentured servants, and racing through the pirate tunnels under Providence.As if jailbreaks weren't enough, old loves have also come to haunt many of the widows. For Krystle, bringing her friend home risks exposing more of Sal's criminal past and destroying any chance of a post-prison happily-ever-after. For Justine, it means throwing herself into the crosshairs of both the law and her mother-in-law, threatening custody of her son and the career she needs to give them a fresh start. For Camille, bringing her bestie home tests her responsibilities to her new, found family and the firm she inherited.Pressuring the widows' loyalty even more are Meredith's own conflicted feelings about newcomer Grace. Meredith begins to question what she's really running from― or returning to. Sure, it's 1988, and "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" is blaring on the radio. But maybe bad girls have the real blast.The widows' genuine bond has gotten them out of sticky situations time and time again. In this treacherous world of liars and thieves, however, their ties to each other will have to withstand the pull of what they want for themselves. And sisterhood might not be enough to save them.The Widows are back in this thrilling third installment of the Young Rich Widows series! This time, a Providence bank robbery-turned-kidnapping creates chaos, as rescuing one of their own finds them on the wrong side of the law, risking everything they've built since their spouses' murders: their friendship, their freedom, and even their lives.
