Unexpected Truth

Isthmus Alliance #4

by Sloan Johnson

Everyone has skeletons in their closet. Sometimes, those skeletons get together and party, threatening to bring everything to light.

Liam Caprese left town for years after losing Maria. She was the love of his life and it's his fault she's gone. Now that he's back, he has to not only learn to forgive himself, but also hope those he hurt will forgive him.

There are a hundred reasons for Liam to not accept the job when Gavin Pratt calls needing someone to keep his daughter, Megaen safe. Liam chooses to ignore those reasons in favor of the easy money. Spend one week keeping the young woman out of trouble? No problem.

Except it's a huge problem. Megaen is drop-dead sexy, feisty and everything Liam wants in a woman. But before he can let anyone else in, he needs to come to terms with the past. And the one woman who makes him want to let go is the same person pulling him back to that dark place.

About the author

Sloan Johnson is a big city girl trapped in a country girl’s body. While she longs for the hustle and bustle of New York City or Las Vegas, she hasn’t yet figured out how to sit on the deck with her morning coffee, watching the deer and wild turkeys in the fields while surrounded by concrete and glass.

When she was three, her parents received their first call from the principal asking them to pick her up from school. Apparently, if you aren’t enrolled, you can’t attend classes, even in Kindergarten. The next week, she was in preschool and started plotting her first story soon after.

Later in life, her parents needed to do something to help their socially awkward, uncoordinated child come out of her shell and figured there was no better place than a bar on Wednesday nights. It’s a good thing they did because this is where she found her love of reading and writing. Who needs socialization when you can sit alone in your bedroom with a good book?

Now, Sloan is a tattooed, purple haired mom of two kids, one of which was a thank you present to her husband for letting her get a Staffordshire Terrier with more anxiety issues than Sloan has, which is saying something. She’s been kicked out of the PTA in two school districts and is no longer asked to help with fundraisers because she’s been known to lose herself in a good book and forget that she has somewhere to be.
