Synopsis:
Small town vet Abby Benson has fled to the country to put her shameful past behind her. She’s just beginning to find her feet again when handsome stranger, Rue Thorn, arrives in town and begins to stir things up. Rue is gorgeous, kind and thoughtful and the two share an instant attraction. But convinced he’ll despise her if he learns about her history, Abby reluctantly keeps him at arms length.
Determined to win Abby over, Rue tries to reshape himself as the sort of guy he thinks she might be interested in. And for a while it seems his act is working. But when he finds out that Abby has been lying to him, it isn’t long before everything start to unravel …
A moving story of trust, forgiveness and the power of love from the author of Uncovered by Love and The Playboy’s Dark Secret.

What
Makes a Hero?
In Love
& Other Lies, Rue is a good guy hero.
He’s kind-hearted, thoughtful, and easy going. Unfortunately this
is exactly the wrong kind of man for Abby. She’s a reformed
compulsive liar, terrified of a relapse, and can’t bear the thought
of dragging a decent man into her mess. She doesn’t consider that
he’s exactly the right kind of man for her, because he can see she
needs support and gives it without question.
Funny how
the wrong man turns out to be her hero!
Now, on the
topic of heroes…about a year ago, a friend of mine commented that
romance heroes aren’t actually heroes. She
believes it’s a misnomer – they’re hardly saving the world.
This made me wonder what makes a romance hero heroic?
Why are they called heroes at all? I can’t answer on behalf of all
lovers of the romance genre – there are many types of romance hero
– but there are certain qualities that all the heroes in my books
possess to make them worthy of the title.
My heroes
are:
Admirable.
The hero needs to act in a way that others admire – including the
heroine.
Courageous.
They always find the courage to fight their demons – and to fight
for the heroine’s love.
Strong:
My heroes are resilient, often having to
endure internal conflict.
Kind:
Even burdened by internal conflict, they
never act inexcusably.
Combined,
these qualities are all it takes, in my opinion!
What are the
ideal traits of your perfect hero?
