SUMMARY

All-access doesn't mean no problems.

The three Diamond sisters survived the summer in style after coming to live with their long-lost billionaire father. But making a place for themselves at their exclusive new Las Vegas private school is throwing them any number of gold-plated curves. Savannah's YouTube stardom turns into a Sweet Sixteen reality show extravaganza—with complimentary enemies on the side. Dangerous flirtations don't keep Peyton from a gamble that will risk far more than she planned to bet. And when Courtney and the sisters' archenemy, Madison, uncover two explosive secrets, it will rock even this town of glittering illusion—and turn their lives upside down all over again.

Sisterhood, first crushes, and scandalous secrets explode in book two of Michelle Madow's riveting series, The Secret Diamond Sisters.

GUEST POST

Thank you, Michelle, for stopping by and guest-ing for me today!

I, and I'm sure every Diamond Sister fan, would like to know what the girls top three favorite must-haves are!!!

SAVANNAH

-        The latest iPhone model, so she can stay connected with her friends and fans via texts, Instagram, Twitter, and Snapchat. Savannah has her phone on her at all times. After starting her YouTube channel over the summer, she doesn’t have as many fans as she’d dreamed of, but she’s holding on hope for that to change!

-        Pink lip gloss. Savannah’s always tossing tubes of lip gloss into her bags and forgetting to take them out, so she ends up with a bunch of colors to choose from whenever she’s out.

-        Hair extensions—ever since getting extensions after first moving to Vegas, Savannah has continued with them because she loves having thick, long hair. Having them makes her feel like a pop star, which is perfect, since being a pop star is her ultimate dream.

COURTNEY

-        Her Kindle, so whenever she has a spare few minutes, she can get further in the book she’s currently reading.

-        The antique key necklace that her grandma got her for her sixteenth birthday last year. It’s a family heirloom, and she wears it every day since arriving in Las Vegas because she misses her grandma, and wearing it makes her feel closer to her.

-        Flip-flops are the only shoes Courtney wears. She finds any other type of shoe uncomfortable!

PEYTON

-        Earbuds, so she can plug them into her phone and listen to her music whenever she wants. Peyton loves having her music collection with her at all times, and listens to it constantly—sometimes even in class.

-        Her fake ID, so she can get into any bar or club that she wants. Peyton hates being restricted from going places, especially because of her age, so she loves the feeling of freedom the fake ID gives her. 

-        A Swiss Army Knife. Even though her bodyguard—Jackson—is always nearby, Peyton feels more secure having it on her. She likes knowing that she can do something to protect herself if necessary. It also has other things in it that are useful, like scissors and a bottle opener.

MADISON

-        Her favorite must-have fashion item is a black dress. She has tons of varieties on the little black dress in her closet.

-        Face momoisturizer BB cream with minimum SPF of 15. Madison’s aware of how damaging the sun is on skin, and knows that keeping her skin protected every day will help it stay healthy and younger-looking for longer.

-        Like Savannah, Madison also always has the latest version of the iPhone. She loves taking pictures of herself with her friends—or capturing pictures of people doing things they shouldn’t. You never know when a sneaky, well-aimed candid will be useful leverage later …

SUMMARY

Savannah. Courtney. Peyton. 

The three sisters grew up not knowing their father and not quite catching a break. But it looks like their luck is about to change when they find out the secret identity of their long-lost dad—a billionaire Las Vegas hotel owner who wants them to come live in a gorgeous penthouse hotel suite. Suddenly the Strip's most exclusive clubs are all-access, and with an unlimited credit card each, it should be easier than ever to fit right in. But in a town full of secrets and illusion, fitting in is nothing compared to finding out the truth about their past.
