The Confession

by Erin McCauley

A confession turns successful handbag designer Aimee Morrison’s world upside down and lands her on the doorstep of Emily Sinclair, the woman who could possibly be her birth mother. In a case of mistaken identity, Aimee impulsively accepts a job as Emily’s personal assistant. To complicate matters, Aimee falls in love with Marcus Lee, a sexy, moody, damaged man who is highly suspicious of her.

Marcus Lee has spent most of his life on the Sinclair estate, having lived there with his mother as a child, and returning after college to pursue his dream of becoming a writer and assume the role of estate caretaker. Growing up with the memory of his father’s betrayal, and his mother’s emotional isolation, he’s learned to trust no one. Watching woman after woman claim to be Emily’s long-lost daughter in an effort to be her sole heir, he also believes everyone has a hidden agenda. Upon meeting Aimee, he is surprised by his strong physical attraction to her, and even as he begins to fall in love, he knows she’s keeping secrets.

Tangled in her own deceptions, will Aimee lose everything she loves once the truth is revealed?

A very emotional tale of trust versus betrayal, love versus hate, despair versus hope, truth versus secrets, with a full cast of characters. My final verdict on a book always rests on whether the author managed to touch my emotions. Erin McCauley does so throughout, most especially at the satisfying conclusion. I'm looking forward to her next novels.

This is her first book and it was so great. It had me in the first few pages!

Hey,

I just finished reading your story and honestly the whole thing was pretty much playing in my head. The vibes you created are no joke, it felt ready to jump out of the pages.

I’m a commission artist, and I do comics, manga, and webtoons for authors who want to see their work visualized. And no exaggeration, your story has the potential to be a hit as a webtoon.

No pressure, but if you wanna see your words turn into visuals, I would be delighted to do it. Hit me up on Discord (eve_verse) to discuss further.

Regards,
evelyn.

I love romances with strong family conflicts at the core of the story and Erin McCauley's "The Confession" didn't disappoint me.

Aimee seems to have it all - a fabulous career, talent, a to-die-for BFF in Luther. But she's missing the love and support of family. Her father, her one family champion, is now gone and her mother and younger sister have never emotionally connected with her. When her mother confesses a dark secret, Aimee thinks she might just have the chance to find the love she has always lacked in her life.

When Aimee pursues the truth behind her monther's deceit, she finds love - and more than just that of family. She finds the love of a man wounded by his own family betrayal, even though they both fight against it.

I chuckled, I cheered, and I shed more than one tear.

I strongly recommend giving Ms. McCauley's "The Confession" a try. I'm so looking forward to getting her next book, "The Truth", due out within only a couple weeks!

Did not finish - story was too choppy for my taste, with characters bouncing from love to hate to lust to fast. Plus, some of the geographic issues bugged me.... anyone who "escapes from NYC to SF for the sunshine" hasn't been to SF. You can count on fog more than sunshine nearly every day, even in the summer. You pretty much can't be in SF without a trenchcoat (for work) or a sweater/sweatshirt in case the temps are chilly... I lost the thread of the story when I started wondering how the author thought SF was sunny - which only means I wasn't that invested to start with. To be fair, this could be a style issue and the book simply wasn't my cuppa tea.

This was a great read but I would have liked more for the ending. I would like to see Emily end up with the twin brother. I felt there was a connection between them that was not explored. I would have liked a little more on Mark and Aimee relationship. It just got started and the book ended. Maybe an epilogue in the future, where they ended up.

"The Confession" is filled with wonderfully emotion scenes and delightful characters that will keep you glued to the page. The happily ever after ending made me a very satisfied reader who eagerly awaits Ms. McCauley's next offering.

Wow!!!!

Wow is all I can think of for this book! I don't want to give the story away, but it was great. I could not put it down once I started reading it . I hope others enjoy it as much as I did.
