Not Without The Truth

Lauren Stanley has to unlock the secret of her past

Discovering what happened the night her mother died is the only way she'll ever have a normal life. So she travels to Peru to find a mysterious doctor named Armando Torres–a man who is more than a doctor and has reasons of his own to keep the past buried. But before Lauren can find him, an "accident" has her forgetting everything she's ever known….

To save a friend. To protect a child. To end an evil. Most of us could not bring ourselves to do the unthinkable–even if it was for the greater good. The Operatives do whatever it takes. Because of them, we don't have to.

About the author

Born and reared in Texas, Kay David has lived all over the world from the Middle East to South America. Drawing frequently on these exotic locations for her books, Kay sees the setting of a story as another "character" in the complex romances she writes for Harlequin Superromance. "I like my readers to feel as if they've visited a place they've never been after they read one of my Supers," she says. "The characters and their love story should be reflected in every aspect of the book. Sometimes I use a foreign setting and/or suspense to heighten those details." A graduate of the University of Houston, Kay has undergraduate degrees in both English (B.A.) and the Management of Information Sciences (MIS- B.A.). She also holds a master's degree in Behavioral Science (M.A.). She has worked at NASA, designed and built homes, and has even owned her own jewelry company, but her true love is writing and it has been since her high school days. "I'm thrilled to be writing Harlequin Superromances," she says. "In my opinion, these books offer a complex story that has a real depth of emotion, or layers, if you will. The issues are out-of- the-headlines current but still give the readers what they want the most–true love stories with happy endings." Along with her husband of twenty-seven years, Pieter, and their globe-trotting, twenty-pound cat, Leroy, Ms. David divides her time between the Texas Gulf coast and the Hill Country.
