No More Good Summary



Behind the gilded doors of the Chase mansion, national bestselling author Angela Winters propels readers into the moneyed world of African-American royalty and family intrigue-a place where no price is too high to pay.

The last thing Carter Chase wants to do is celebrate, even if the party is in his honor. Being appointed to the Board of his father's multibillion-dollar empire means nothing to him since his fiance Avery left him. Carter intends to use every available resource, and compromise every moral, to find her and get her back.


Meanwhile, Carter's brother, Michael, has a problem of his own. His relationship with his wife Kimberly has been strained ever since she exposed a shocking secret in his mother's past that nearly destroyed everyone. Now Kimberly faces a new threat from her own past that could cause her to lose Michael forever and destroy the entire Chase legacy.


Miles away, Avery Jackson tries to put the past behind her. To succeed she will have to make sure the Chase family never discovers the secret she's taken with her. But that may be impossible when an emergency brings her back home and everyone's paths converge when Avery's father, View Park's Chief of Police, is shot.


But it's not just the Chase men who are in turmoil. Oldest daughter Leigh is being publicly wooed by a hot Hollywood star with a fast, self-indulgent lifestyle that places her in danger and changes her life forever. And with the youngest daughter Haley creating scandal after scandal, the family may be in hot water not even their billions can buy them out of.

With four grown children and a multi-billion-dollar empire to oversee, Janet Chase has been the perfect partner to her husband Steven, Founder and CEO of Chase Beauty. But lately, her well-ordered world seems to be falling apart....

Daughter-in-law Kimberly has had enough of living in the Chase mansion and enough of Janet's reminders that she doesn't belong. Kimberly sees only one solution: get rid of Janet. And the only way to do it is by unearthing a skeleton from deep within Janet's closet...

It's almost been a year since Carter Chase walked into Avery Jackson's beauty salon intending to buy her out for his father's company...and fell madly in love with her instead.

Exiled to Europe after a high-profile scandal, twenty-three year old Haley Chase has returned home to cause new trouble. This time it involves a dangerously sadistic new beau...

View Park Summary


A family at the top has the farthest to fall...
*******************************************
Los Angeles-based cosmetics tycoon Steven Chase has come a long way from his humble beginnings. Chase Beauty is a Fortune 500 company, and Steven's family, including socialite wife, Janet, and four grown children, live a life of privilege in exclusive View Park. But when Steven wants to expand his empire by adding a chain of hair salons, one woman stands in his way...

Twenty-six-year-old Avery Jackson is the owner of two businesses that Chase wants to buy out. But the independent young woman has no intention of selling. Once Steven realizes he can't seduce her with money, he tries a different approach: his handsome attorney son, Carter...

Carter Chase's decision to start his own law firm instead of joining Chase Beauty created a deep rift with his father. Persuading Ms. Jackson to sell would be a chance to appease Steven. But Carter soon realizes he's met his match in Avery--and even as the two battle over business, they're also fighting a mutual attraction.

Meanwhile, spoiled debutante Haley Chase is busy getting into high-profile trouble. While on her married lover's yacht, Haley witnesses a murder--which leads to an encounter with Sean Jackson, L.A.'s youngest, toughest detective. Haley at first considers messing with Sean a fun game, until it becomes clear that this time, she won't be the one making--or breaking--the rules.

After a year in Africa with the Peace Corps, pediatrician Leigh Chase is determined to start a free clinic--an idea that horrifies her parents. Hoping to distract her from the venture, Janet promises to provide funding...if Leigh dates a certain young investment banker. But mother doesn't always know best, and Janet's manipulating proves to be a dangerous mistake...

While trouble brews among his siblings, twenty-eight-year-old Michael Chase enjoys wielding his power as VP of Finance at Chase Beauty. Fiercely competitive, Michael does Daddy's dirty work--and always comes out clean. His only soft spot is for his wife, Kimberly, a former fashion model. But Kimberly has her own ambitions--plans that may one day shake the very foundations of the Chase dynasty--and change their view from the top forever...

"View Park has all of the elements of a great story: Drama, Suspense, Mystery, Romance, and Betrayal. It is the essential summer read. Angela Winters has written an engrossing story with interesting, unforgettable characters." -PeopleWhoLoveGoodBooks Book Club - 5 Stars

"Winters successfully creates a world of intrigue and scandal in View Park, part one of a projected trilogy. The result is a Dynasty -esque mix of money, power, sex, and crime that leaves no member of the Chase family in the clear." - Washingtonian Magazine

"Winters offers an exciting beginning to this trilogy. The dialogue is realistic, the descriptions are detailed and vivid and the wealthy world of the rich and famous is reminiscent of Dynasty." - RT Magazine - 4 Stars

"While View Park can be summarized as a drama-filled, fast-paced ride through the lives of the Chase and Jackson families, it also can be viewed as an emotional and psychological tale. To be continued!" - RAWSISTAZ Review
