Dashing Deceit (The Callahans)

Falling for the single dad wasn’t on her holiday to-do list … but neither was becoming the center of a dangerous obsession.

Lauren Davenport loves teaching her students, getting lost in a good book, and living the life she’s built in her hometown. She has always believed in the power of a love story; she’s just not sure if it will ever be her turn.

Until an innocent exchange with the single dad of a former student grows into something that feels anything but typical—and may even be something extraordinary.

Agreeing to testify against the mob put Luca Morelli in federal protection for over two years. Now he is focused on building a life in the small town of Forrest Falls, where his sister has been raising his children while he was away.

Falling for his son’s former teacher is a twist Luca didn’t see coming. As their connection deepens, Luca realizes he isn’t the only one fixated on the sweet school teacher.

Lauren unintentionally becomes a participant in a dangerous game, but when the truth gets unwrapped, will it be too late?

Dashing Deceit is a romantic suspense novella featuring a curvy, hopeless romantic heroine that never meant to fall for a single dad, and a protective hero with a dangerous past who never expected to discover love when he moved to the small town of Forrest Falls. This companion novella falls between books three and four of The Callahans series by Liz Colbert.
