(Truth in Lies #1)
Publication date: August 11th 2013
Genres: Contemporary, New Adult
Synopsis:
Both on the verge of fame. A ballerina who lies. A baseball player who believes her. Well, the truth changes everything.
Tally Landon is just trying to survive the death of her twin sister, graduate from high school, and escape her tragic story by pursuing her ballet career in New York. She doesn’t count on Lincoln Presley, Stanford’s baseball wonder, to affect her at all. Adding him to a long list of one-night stands is the plan. Lying to him about her age and name is her standard method of operandi. She doesn’t count on being found out, on seeing him again, or falling in love.
Lincoln Presley’s life is all mapped out for him. There is only baseball. With Major League Baseball circling their favorite prospect with a lucrative offer, he cannot afford to mess up. And, he doesn’t; until he meets up with the girl he saved in that burning wreckage on the 101 on Valentine’s Day months before. By the time he learns her real name and of all the lies she’s told, he’s in far too deep to ever really let her go.
Fate has a different set of plans, but when fame and lies tear them apart, one truth remains.

Excerpt:
From Chapter Five – Linc’s POV
So
here I am, imbibing in a few beers and trying to appear normal and avoid all
the supposed fan-girls, if at all possible; and then, there she is—the girl
from Valentine’s Day. I’m just staring at her—the raven-haired girl across the
room—remembering Valentine’s Day and the horrible circumstances under which we
first met and immediately having trouble remembering all my set rules for not
getting involved with anyone. Ever.
At
one point, I catch her green-eyed gaze, and she looks right through me. I
actually shiver at the unspoken admission that she doesn’t remember me at all.
I find myself suffering with this crushing disappointment as if I’ve been hit
squarely in the chest by a baseball. What dumb luck is it that she’s shown up
at this party, and that she doesn’t even remember me?
She
surveys the room with a disdainful look and takes one long, slow pull of her
drink from a red plastic cup. I watch her slender throat move up and down as
she swallows. My body reacts to all of her in a single instant.
Man,
I want her bad. Just like that. At the very least, I want to know her name
before I leave here tonight.
I
watch her for so long that I can tell when the vodka-spiked punch actually hits
her system. She sways ever so slightly now and leans further up against the far
wall as if that alone is the only thing still holding her up.
My
conscience surges with guilt that I should have gone over to her sooner, but
still directs me toward her before I actually think about what I’m doing. I’m
not sure where this urgent need to protect her comes from. Perhaps I’m spurred
on by a few of these guys partying it up right next to her that seem to have
taken notice of the swaying, dark-haired girl at about the same time I start to
make my way across to her. Still, I’m determined to be the one that saves her again,
even if she doesn’t remember me from the first time we met more than three
months ago on Valentine’s Day.
AUTHOR BIO
Katherine Owen writes contemporary edgy fiction, which translates to: she writes love stories that are contemporary in setting and both edgy and dark. Some readers term her books emotional roller coasters. With her writing, Owen admits she has a fondness for angst, likes to play with a little drama, and essentially toys around with the unintentional complications of love. She contends this began early on when she won a poetry contest at the age of fourteen and appears to be without end. Owen has an avid love of coffee, books, and writing, but not necessarily in that order. She writes both Contemporary Romance and New Adult fiction which includes her bestselling TRUTH IN LIES Series (a series despite despising 'series') beginning with This Much Is True and her latest release, The Truth About Air & Water. The TRUTH IN LIES series is fan-driven. So. There will be a third book about Linc and Tally released in 2015 titled Tell Me Something True.About Owen's fiction...This is NOT the light trope stuff. She travels a unique, writerly path and enjoys writing dark and angsty (a "non-word" she is fond of) emotional love stories. She often warns readers to be prepared with: time, tissues, wine, Advil or your drug of choice. And, as her most favored character, Lincoln Presley, would say, "do what you must, Princess."
