Sinossi

Ivy Fields might be alive, but life in Crescent Hills is still anything but boring.
 
Newlywed Audrey realizes married life isn’t everything it’s cracked up to be, and whether her marriage to Sawyer lasts remains to be seen. Marcia is moving on with her life now that her and Lucky are over for good.
 
Meanwhile, Ivy’s return complicates Ben’s relationship with Cooper, although being torn between mother and son is more drama than Ben would care for. And Cassandra’s nemesis Selma Diamond could prevent Cassandra from enjoying her happily ever after.
 
When a death rocks Crescent Hills, it becomes clear that everyone has an agenda. Behind the McMansions, designer clothes, and fancy cars are secrets begging to be exposed. Because when reputations are at stake, people are capable of just about anything.
