“My life is up to me to define. I needed to make my own dreams come true.”
― Kaira Rouda, Here, Home, Hope

USA Today bestselling author Kaira Rouda redefined her life when she wrote her first novel Here, Home, Hope. She carried her childhood dream of writing stories with her into adulthood, and made her own dreams come true following an inspiring conversation that helped her realize she had not yet done all she wanted to in life. Since then, she has shifted to write gripping psychological thrillers, pushing her characters to uncover each other’s darkest secrets.

As Rouda returns with We Were Never Friends, we invite you to join us for a very special book pre-launch event to discuss this thrilling exploration of how the past influences the present, as the sorority sisters of Theta Gamma Mu realize nothing stays buried forever.

“Kaira Rouda has a way of drawing you in with great characters, fast-paced writing, and a story that won’t let you go.” – Samantha Downing, USA Today bestselling author
