Deceptions (MacLane Family, #3) (ePub)

Deceptions is the third book in the MacLane Family series. It is the story of Jake and Natalie, and can be read as a standalone. Due to 'adult content,' this book is best suited for readers 18 years of age and older.

Jacob "Jake" MacLane couldn't give two shits about money, power, or prestige. His love for guns turned into a love of serving his country. His remarkable ability as a sniper gave him a purpose for living. His bad-boy looks and alpha-male attitude had the women vying for his attention. All of that ceased to matter the day his best friend was killed in action. What happened that day has haunted Jake ever since. No one - not his own brothers, or one mysterious woman - would ever know his deepest secret.

Natalie Sherman had her future planned out: graduate high school, get accepted into Juilliard's dance program, and take Broadway by storm. What she hadn't anticipated was her mother's cancer diagnosis or death from the wretched disease. Natalie's bright future quickly faded, until a one-night stand with a dark and sexy stranger made her feel alive again. Too bad he didn't stick around to see what he'd left behind. A chance encounter with him had Natalie keeping her own secret locked away - especially because he didn't even remember her.

When both of their secrets come crashing down around them at the same time, Natalie finally asks for Jake's help. This time, he can't refuse. It quickly becomes the most important mission of his life, and once the dust settles, nothing will ever be the same for them. Sometimes, only the right person will help you rebuild the ruins left by your deceptions...
