About this ebook

"Captured Lies is an outstanding book and it was a book I couldn't put down..." Dee Sauter (Linda Howard Book Junkies)

She was kidnapped not once but twice and now someone wants her dead because of it... Her life was a lie!

Bailey knew her upbringing wasn't normal but she's worked hard to stabilize her life. At 29, she finally has a good business, a stable home; her life is miles from that of her childhood. Then suddenly her mother dies, leaving a gaping hole and a discovery that they may not even be related. If Guy, the private investigator is to be believed, her life is a lie.

Using the skills she learned on the streets, Bailey travels back through a sketchy and dangerous past, to find answers. Dodging bullets, staying ahead of those who want her dead and convincing Guy she can do it alone, are making it difficult to discover not only the secrets of her mother's past but that of a family claiming she is theirs.

Everyone seems to have a story... but who's telling the truth? And who wants her dead? Is Guy part of the solution? Or part of the problem? To discover the facts, she'll have to untangle a web of deceit, lies, and secrets, dating back over thirty years.

But can she do it in time...

Ratings and reviews

A lot happens from the beginning & it keeps on going, barely giving one a chance to breathe . Nail biting action, sitting on the edge of your seat drama. Love it!

Fast paced, well written hook I couldn't put down!

I started skipping the unnecessary bits and found that I had skipped to the end.
