Lisa Dyson - Resorting To The Truth

In love we trust...

She may have found the twin sister she never knew she had...but Charlotte Harrington also lost her mother. And now she’s lost her artistic inspiration, too. Escaping to a lush tropical resort is her best shot at getting something of her own back again. She just needs to focus and somehow not let Sam Briton’s guarded smile distract her.

Managing a hotel and single fatherhood puts plenty on Sam’s plate, Charlotte gets that. And the suspicion in his deep blue eyes can only lead to big-time trouble for a woman who struggles with the truth. So why is she driven by the need to convince him that love is worth opening his heart?

Sam felt himself drifting closer to Charlotte.

Her lips were slightly parted, moist from the drink she’d been sipping. He wondered what her mouth tasted like...

“Hey, you two, come on out on the dance floor!”

He didn’t know who yelled, but it was enough to sober Sam. “Would you like to dance?” He asked the question the way he’d been doing everything since Charlotte arrived at the resort—without thinking it through.

Charlotte blinked and stood up. Sam took that as an affirmative.

He rose from his chair and followed her to the makeshift dance floor, where she turned to face him. How much trouble could they get into dancing to this fast-paced Taylor Swift song anyway?

But they no sooner got into the rhythm when the song ended and a slow ballad came on.

Sam did the only thing he could think to do. He put his arms out and she unhesitatingly slid against him, as if they’d been doing this for years.

This was a very bad idea.

If you read Allie Miller’s book, Catching Her Rival, then you’ll be happy to know that this is her twin sister’s story. Wondering what was in that letter Charlotte found? You don’t have long to wait!

Resorting to the Truth begins with Charlotte Harrington reading that letter from her deceased mother, which turns Charlotte’s world upside down. Thankfully, Sam Briton enters her life, even if they have a rocky beginning. He had a problem with Charlotte’s twin sister, Allie, several years earlier, and he naturally assumes Charlotte is just as dishonest. Unfortunately, Charlotte doesn’t help her case with some of the decisions she makes...

I hope you enjoy reading Charlotte’s story as much as I enjoyed writing it.
