Ella Ingraham is a best-selling novelist. She's also a murderer. At least that's what most of the world thinks after her ex brought a tabloid frenzy and a civil suit down on her for "negligence" following the stillbirth of their unplanned child at eight months. Her cross-country drive is meant to be an escape, and Horatio, AR is just another random exit off the highway. Until she meets Josh Devereaux.
Josh Devereaux – seductive, charming and hot, hot, hot – is a part-time farmer, full-time tech genius holed up in his hometown after a few years in New York turned him into someone else. Someone worse. His closetful of skeletons has been locked up tight since he returned to Arkansas, right along with his heart. He knows Ella could unlock both – and what a bad idea that would be.
Ella has no intention of getting involved with Josh, but as one date turns into more, feelings surface Ella hasn't felt in years -- like hope. As their relationship grows, Josh knows he should tell Ella the truth about his past. If only the lie wasn't so much easier to believe.

Q. What makes THE TRUTH SERIES special?
The Truth Series has secrets, revenge -- and a heroine who's desperate for a second chance. I started this series with the idea of a woman recovering from losing her baby, and then I thought, "What if the person who was supposed to love and support through her loss her blamed her as much as she blamed herself?" And Eric and Ella were born, in all of their dysfunction. Although theirs is the supporting story. The real story is the slow burn romance between Ella and Josh -- and all of its twists and turns.
