Redeeming Lies Samantha St Claire

Before she can live the honest life she's always wanted, she'll be forced to weave a web of credible lies and deceive the man who loves her.

Madison Jennings possessed a unique skill exploited by her father. As a scam artist, he used his daughter's talent for reading people. Her job--profile the mark for honesty. When her father's fortunes improve, he enrolls her in Miss Emma Willard's School for Young Ladies where she begins a progressive education in both academics and society. For two years, Maddie thrives under the tutelage of those who encourage her to challenge the culture's views of acceptable work for women. This happy life ends when her father suddenly withdraws her, taking her with him on a desperate flight from deadly repercussions for a scam gone wrong.

On the first westbound train out of New York, Maddie realizes they are being pursued by both the Pinkerton Agency and a vindictive Sicilian family, but she knows little more of her father's crime. When a heart attack ends his life at a small station in Idaho Territory, she must change her identity, take the money and disappear. On the north-bound train to Ketchum, she meets a young doctor, David Reynolds, on the run from an attraction to a woman he can never possess, a man of integrity who values honesty as the highest virtue. Trapped in her false identity by the indiscretions of her father, Maddie cannot risk revealing her true nature, nor allow the attraction to distract her from the need to simply survive. Lies and truths collide in the climactic encounter with those who would stop at nothing to take back what is rightfully theirs.
