Misconception
When the baby she'd prayed for is taken – revenge is all she has left.
Perfect for fans of Gillian Flynn, Jane Harper, A.J. Finn, Nora Roberts.
When Jess discovers she is infertile, even inheriting a fortune in her aunt’s will can't ease the pain. When she marries Dan, the love of her life, all she wants is a baby. She would give up the money tomorrow if she could give birth to a child today. IVF is out of the question as is adoption.
But husband Dan has plans of his own for Jess’s wealth and is intent on controlling it.
Jess looks for the perfect surrogate with the kind of artistic genes she wants to pass on her child. Enter sculptress Marti Lomax who comes across as oh, so sugar-sweet, and oh, so talented, who wants to experience childbirth but not keep the child. But Marti has a dangerous and decadent past and is revealed to be an exotic and erotic seductress. Dan falls for her sensual magnetism and when Marti gives birth to baby Luke they claim the child as their own.
Jess discovers she has not only lost her inheritance, but lost her husband, the child she so desperately yearns for, and is locked out of her own home.
She finally wakes up and smells the coffee, turns guerilla fighter, abducts baby Luke and goes on the run.
Attempted murder, a brain-damaged child, a prison sentence, reconciliation and the ultimate revenge.

Misconception is a well timed book. For any Science Fiction Technology reader, you'll recognize this topic as ripped from the military briefings of today.
David Callinan masterfully weaves the issue of unmanned drones and personal privacy into an engrossing and tightly wound plot that will terrify you with its reality.
Packed with "futuristic" armaments, Misconception tells a dark tale of how our future could look very soon. I found this fiction to be closer to fact.
