After leaving her cheating fiancé at the altar, all Gabrielle wants is a day alone to reflect on the mistakes she's made. But when her car breaks down in the small town of Baldwin's Shore, a day turns into a week, and perhaps-if the goddesses of fate smile kindly-a little longer. But someone from her past has a different plan. Sheriff's deputy Colt Haines isn't looking for love, and he definitely isn't looking for a flighty blonde to move into his spare room and complicate his life. But his young daughter has other ideas. So too does his heart, and when Gabrielle's secrets catch up with her, he's left with no choice but to fight for her future and for his. Secrets, Lies, and Family Ties is a slow-burn romantic suspense novel with a cinnamon roll hero. The Baldwin's Shore series is filled with gutsy heroines and protective, swoon-worthy heroes in stories that mix humour, heat, and happily ever afters. Each book can be read as a standalone.
