Mary — Lizann Carson

Love and Lies

Mary, former wild child, gave up on men years ago. Those she's met either lust for her or want to change her. She is resigned to spending her life as a single woman.

Besides, she has a secret â€" a secret who's now nineteen years old. Zach was raised by her parents, and she never told her friends in Calter Creek she's a mom. It's a bit late now.

Then she meets Chris, everyone's image of a good guy. Is he interested? Oh, yes. But Mary rejects his attempts to court her. Mild-mannered Chris? She'd be bored in a week… wouldn't she?

What Mary doesn't know is that Chris has a secret, too: his profession. He can't bring himself to tell her, certain she'd bolt.

But secrets have a way of coming out…
