Publisher's Summary:

When a mother's love meets a father's instinct...

Ex-marine Adam Dalton once dreamed of a life with Hadley O'Sullivan, but war and a near-fatal injury cost him dearly. Now he returns to Dallas to discover the unthinkable - Hadley is the prime suspect in the disappearance of her twin baby girls... the daughters he never knew he had.

Beyond Hadley's terror of having her children kidnapped is the shock of seeing Adam. Yes, she had kept him from his daughters, but now, when he insists they work together as a united front, she knows she is still in love with him. Despite their past, finding their children is their only hope to finally becoming a family - if time doesn't run out first.

Trumped Up Charges

In Trumped Up Charges by Joanna Wayne: We find Adam Dalton an ex Marine who was badly injured in the war in Afghanistan. He has arrived at his estranged father's ranch to attend what is suppose to be the reading of R.J. Dalton's will. But not so fast, one is suppose to dead before a will is read "right". While at the Dry Gulch Ranch, he receives a call from his mother informing him that his ex-fiancé's twin daughters have been kidnapped.

Hadley O'Sullivan never told Adam Dalton he was a father. Believing the lies that Adam had told her after he was injured. She made a life for herself and their twin daughters Lacy and Lila. She has been a loving and caring mother to her daughters. Now that their daughters have been kidnapped she tells him the truth. She is determined to find her daughters, no matter that it takes.

Now Adam and Hadley along with help from R.J. and Fred Casey have joined forces to help find the twins. But one Detective isn't sure that Hadley herself isn't behind the kidnapping.

This was my first novel by Joanna Wayne, but it will not be my last. She wrote an Amazing Intrigue story, which had me guessing for a while. This was a non-stop read for me. I was waiting not so patiently to see who had taken the girls. Besides main characters that were well written, the author wrote great secondary characters. One in particular that you just wanted to beat the pulp out out. To make a reader feel that kind of passion in my humble opinion is the sign of a really talented writer. Well done !

Any fans of Intrigue novels will not be disappointed.

5/5 stars

I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Even though I was originally given a copy from NetGalley, I had issues with the download and ended up purchasing this book from Amazon.com

loved this story

I really enjoyed this book. The suspense was good. Hadley is worried, and just wants her twin girls back. They were kidnapped in the middle of the night from the bed they were sleeping in. The doors, and windows were all still locked, so who ever did it, had a key. With that being said, it made me read this story with more anticipation. Suddenly everyone you know, and trust becomes a suspect.

Hadley, and Adam was engaged to get married. He was a marine, and got deployed to Afghanistan. He wrote to Hadley, breaking up with her. She never told him she was pregnant. She had a broken heart, but was a really good mother. She worked hard as a single mother to give her girls all they needed. Her world comes crashing down when her girls are taking.

Adam still cares about Hadley.
