Pyramid of Lies, by Anne Marie Winston
17 Jun 2006
Format:Mass Market Paperback
SUBJECT: Gretchen Wagner, captivating cryptologist
FAMILY HISTORY: Adopted, one of the Extraordinary Five?
DEEPEST SECRET: Wants to conceive a child, married or not
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. [from back of book]
I've read 7 out of 12 of the Family Secrets/Extraordinary 5 series. All are well written and the stories mesh remarkably successfully, considering that each is by a different author. You definitely have to suspend disbelief about the overall plot of the series, but the relationships are well realized and you'll care about the characters. All the romances sizzle.
Here is the series in order (c. 2003-2004):
Enemy Mind, by Maggie Shayne
Pyramid of Lies, by Anne Marie Winston
The Player, by Evelyn Vaughn
The Bluewater Affair, by Cindy Gerard
Her Beautiful Assassin, by Virginia Kantra
A Verdict of Love, by Jenna Mills
The Billionaire Drifter, by Beverly Bird
Fever, by Linda Winstead Jones
Blind Attraction, by Myrna Mackenzie
The Parker Project, by Joan Elliott Pickart
The Insider, by Ingrid Weaver
Check Mate, by Beverly Barton
