Secret Life of Rosie Mauer, Wallflower

Rosie Mauer is the high school librarian, lunchroom attendant, and after-school detention monitor at Laurel Grove High. She sings in the church choir, keeps her head down, and blends into the world with all the flair of the wilting honeysuckle in her mother’s garden. Her IQ may be off the charts, but her life feels hopelessly bland.
Until everything changes.
Rosie is hired incognito as a nanny for the son of a wealthy man—a man who just happens to be the prime suspect in the murders of two missing girls. Their cases echo the disappearance of Rosie’s own aunt forty years earlier, a tragedy the family never recovered from.
As Rosie Mauer, she’s the awkward girl with a hopeless crush on her sister’s fireman boyfriend, unable to fit in with either her father’s rough-around-the-edges family or her mother’s polished, upper-crust relatives.
But as Violet Popovich, her bold and beautiful alter ego, she suddenly attracts more attention than she can handle—and slips deeper into a mystery darker than anyone realizes.
Now the bodies are piling up. The timelines are converging. And the closer Rosie gets to the truth, the harder it becomes to hide the double life that may be the only thing keeping her alive.
