A woman with a hidden past. A new love on the horizon. Will the truth set her free or cost her everything? Madeleine Ross has meticulously organized her world to leave no trace of her criminal past. After creating a new identity for herself, her only remaining connection to her previous life is the security work she does for a small-town insurance company. But, when she starts falling for her handsome boss, Dan, she's worried letting him in will expose secrets best kept locked away. As their attraction grows stronger, Madeleine's attempts to keep Dan in the dark go horribly wrong when a dangerous ex emerges from her unsavoury past.
After her former flame gives her an offer she can't refuse, she has one choice left: ditch her life as a thief to let Dan in or embrace her shady dealings to destroy her only shot at a happy future. Parallel Lies is the first book in the Ross Duology, a fast-paced romantic suspense series.
