 | Pyramid of Lies by Anne Marie Winston
Gretchen Wagner could decipher ancient hieroglyphics, but men remained a mystery. And while the brainy beauty had given up on romance, she was determined to have a child the old-fashioned way. So when handsome private investigator Kurt Miller tracked her down in Egypt and offered to take her across the globe to meet her long-lost father, she set her plan in motion. Not only would Kurt give her back the family she couldn`t remember, but he would help her start a new one, as well. Inexplicably drawn to her, Kurt helped Gretchen piece together her past. As his feelings for her grew, so did his doubts about her alleged father. But neither imagined the danger that awaited them, or the secret that threatened their future together.

Dianne Robbins is a single mother in rural Connecticut, valiantly struggling to raise Julia, her severely disabled daughter. Dianne's support system consists of her mother Lucinda, a down-to-earth librarian, and Julia's pediatrician, Alan--who is secretly in love with Dianne. There's also Amy, a troubled adolescent whom Dianne has taken under her wing. Dianne swears she is content with this close-knit group of friends and family, but there's no man in her life--until her ex-husband shows up at her bedside as she lies in the hospital after a car accident. Handsome, dashing Tim (who happens to be Alan's brother) deserted Dianne years before, but now he wants to reconnect with Dianne and with the daughter he once rejected.
