BOOK SYNOPSIS

Four stories about the joys and sorrows of having sisters

Whipped (Sofia Quintero): Michelle and Jen are as different as sisters can be. Michelle has always been the good sister, the one who never gets into trouble, who never stands up for herself. Little does Jen know that Michelle has a secret job that will completely change the way she looks at her big sister. In a hilarious turn of events, Jen finds out about Michelle's job –– she is Madame Michelina, the mistress of the month at "Whipped" an s & m club. When Jen decides to confront Michelle at her job by posing as a dominatrix, both sisters learn much more about each other than they ever wanted to know.

Till Death Do Us Part (Mary Castillo): Dori and her sister Sela, know as "those Wild Orihuela girls" decide to play a game at their brother's wedding. Their sister–in–law is ashamed of her future family and lets them know it every chance she has. To get even the girls decide to give her a taste of how wild they can really be by playing a game. Each sister gets an equal amount of time to seduce the bride's handsome ex–boyfriend. Add a crazy grandmother, a mean father, a plot to ruin the reception, and Dori's ex–boyfriend and you get a wedding to remember.

Diss–Connected (Lynda Sandoval): All Christy Avila wants to do is blend in. In a family of attention–seekers, she has always been the quiet one. But when her sister Marisol, the host of one of the most popular radio shows, let's slip Christy's deepest, darkest secret, she suddenly finds herself thrust into the limelight. Marisol had promised never to tell anyone that Christy put herself through college by working as a phone–sex operator. To make up for her big mouth, Marisol hires a bodyguard who also happens to be Christy's biggest high school crush. And now Christy has no idea if the sparks that fly are because of her or because of her big secret.

What Stays in Vegas (Berta Platas): Anita has always counted on her dependable big sister. After their mother died, Susu took care of her wild child younger sibling. But now Susu has run out on her perfect husband and two adorable children and it is up to Anita to be the responsible one and fly to Vegas and bring her home. Anita doesn't count on falling for the brother of Susu's liason but strange things seem to happen in Vegas. Will she be able to bring Susu home before her husband finds out about the affair or will what happened in Vegas not stay there this time?
