LIVING WITH LIES FIRST FOUR BOOKS IN THE DANCING MOON RANCH SERIES: Four contemporary western romances under one cover. The books in the Series are intended to be read in sequence as each book moves forward in time, the entire series spanning thirty years. LIVING WITH LIES is the first of four volumes in the series PREQUEL: JUSTIFIED DECEPTIONRuth's on a quest to find her daughter who was kidnapped five years before. Ruth's private investigator's all but certain that ranch owner, Matt Kincaid's, adopted daughter is Ruth's child. But even though Ruth lands the job as nanny to Matt's six-year-old daughter, she must tread carefully. Matt's the maverick in a powerful family of lawyers and politicians and she can't predict what Matt or his family might do if the adoption's challenged. However, Ruth's carefully laid plans go awry when she finds herself falling in love with the man who might have stolen her child. BOOK 1: RIGHTEOUS LIES Grace Templeton thought the child she'd been carrying for seven months was the child of her dead husband. Jack Hansen thought the sperm he'd donated had gone to the wife of his sterile twin. And then they learn that the vials of sperm at the fertility clinic were accidentally switched. The shock sends Grace into early labor, and the only place she can have complete bed rest is at the Dancing Moon Ranch owned by Jack and his twin. But soon, Grace finds herself falling in love with a hard-edged cowboy who appears to want to control every aspect of her life, now that she's carrying his son. But Jack has his reasons. He also has no intention of marrying, and Grace is determined to learn why. BOOK 2: PANDORA'S BOX- When a relationship with a CEO goes sour and Justine Page finds herself without a job or a place to live she goes to the Dancing Moon Ranch to stay with her sister and reassess her life. Brad Meecham, a best-selling author with post-traumatic stress, is there to try to deal with mind demons. Brad is drawn to Justine who knows instinctively what to do when dark memories begin to surface, but when he unexpectedly finds himself with a daughter he never knew existed, he knows without question that a woman who slept her way to the top will never be a candidate for step-mother. But then, he fails to factor in the power of love to bring together a flawed woman and a troubled child, and his need to have both in his life. BOOK 3: FALSE PRETENSES- Jayne Hamilton has a dark secret she's carefully guarded and which she hopes will stay hidden until she lands the job at Dancing Moon Ranch. But as Sam Hansen interviews her, he's uneasy. Things don't add up. Still, he hires her without running a background check because his mother wants to retire from the guest ranch end of the operation, and neither Sam nor his twin, Jack, want to take over that job. A guest ranch manager would free them of that burden. But soon, Sam finds himself blindly attracted to Jayne, even though he knows she's hiding something... something that has to do with a child. But Sam also senses that there's much more. The DANCING MOON RANCH SERIES continues with BOOKS 4, 5, and 6, all under one cover in THE LIES UNCOVERED, VOLUME II of the series. AUTHOR'S NOTE: The incident that is the basis for this series actually happened, and because fertility clinics are not regulated, such mistakes are not uncommon. Even hospitals are not exempt from error. Currently, at a well-known health-science university hospital, a lawsuit involving the implantation of embryos of different races, in the wrong women, is making its way through the legal system. Women react to, and handle, such life-changing mistakes in vastly different ways, as is illustrated in Book 1 of the series. However, Grace Templeton and Jack Hansen, the hero and heroine of Book 1, "Righteous Lies," as well as all of the other characters in the Dancing Moon Ranch Series, are fictitious.
