Proof of Deception

When Carrie Greer's uncle Ron returns from his Florida vacation treating her like an enemy and throws her out of her rental, she has no idea what she did wrong.

Then she finds him dead in his driveway, and the sheriff's department she works alongside uncovers something worse: it wasn't an accident, and Carrie is the initial prime suspect.

Robbie Bailey has been her friend since they were kids — the former deputy is back in school now and figuring out what comes next. Carrie's been his secret crush for years—through school, through the sheriff's department, through every shift he spent trying not to look at her too long. Coming back to town to be by her side is an easy choice, and he has no intention of wasting the chance to be the shoulder she cries on.

The detectives working Ron’s murder discover he lived a life nobody in Olman County knew anything about. They keep finding pieces that don't belong to him—and the farther they dig, the less any of it seems to be about Ron at all.

Carrie has been someone else's secret since the day she was born.

Proof of Deception is the sixth book in the Olman County Series, women's fiction novels of small-town romantic suspense.
