Lured by Lies

A lonely widow. A charming stranger. A love story built on lies.



Isabelle Parker never expected to start over at fifty. After losing her husband, Tom, she has settled into a quiet, lonely life in Silver Ridge, a misty Pacific Northwest town where everyone knows her grief but no one knows what to do with it.



Then online dating opens a door.



James is local, kind, and safe. David Lawson is something else entirely—intense, romantic, successful, and able to say exactly what Isabelle needs to hear. His messages arrive like light in the dark. His attention makes her feel beautiful again. His promises make her believe a future is still possible.



But the closer David pulls her, the more Isabelle drifts from the people who truly love her.



And when his perfect words begin to crack, Isabelle discovers that betrayal doesn’t always come through a locked door. Sometimes it arrives as a good morning message, a bouquet of flowers, and a promise that sounds like love.



Lured by Lies is Book One in The Dating Deception Series, a clean romantic suspense thriller about trust, deception, survival, and the terrifying cost of believing the wrong man.
