He’s constructed a lifestyle that leaves him alone and his sexy new neighbor isn’t going to change his decision - especially since she has a horde of kids running around. Child psychologist Andie Bowen has four foster children, all with high emotional needs. Andie’s committed to the children and she’s not going to upset them by getting involved with a man who could never accept her family. When six year old Chloe breaks into Gray’s home, Andie is appalled until she realizes that Jamie, her clinging youngest child, left her side for the first time in months - to look at one of Gray’s treasures. But Gray knows she can’t help the boy building a model car, the boy loves, so he offers to help. But when an unknown assailant starts tormenting Andie’s family, Gray has no choice but to step in and help protect his neighbor and her family. And then he'll have to confront the nightmares that plagues his childhood and what they might mean today. Together they will face his past,while struggling to keep Andie and her children safe.

Family Lies

2012

What do you do when everything you value turns out to be false? Kathryn Talbot couldn’t stay in the family home for another moment. Her husband had changed. He’d become distant and secretive. So she moved into an apartment and began to rebuild her life. But when her stepson voices concern about his father’s health, she agrees to convince him to see a doctor. When the diagnosis is early onset Alzheimer’s disease, she has no choice: she agrees to her husband’s request to return home and help him. Eventually, the disease progresses beyond her ability to keep him safe at home, so she finds a safe, secure, and comfortable long term care facility for him. His illness forces her to invite his partner, Eric Berecki, to return from Asia and take over the North American arm of the company. But when a quote for a private jet arrives at the office and an expensive diamond soon follows, she knows something is wrong. They don’t make enough to cover these costs. And don’t have the lifestyle to justify them. Kathryn and Eric must work together to solve the mystery of the business. Her husband’s illness prevents them from asking him any questions. His death ensures they have to find the answers on their own. While trying to put the pieces of the puzzle together, Kathryn learns that psychopaths come in many guises and that Family Lies destroy families.
