Too True to be Good
by Mary E. Thompson
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Zach Bennett was content to go to work, hang out with his family and friends, and entertain a woman once in a while. As
Besides, he had enough to worry about with a new chef breathing down his neck for his job.
She faced the truth every day…
Gianna Brooks always wanted to work with people. She saw enough growing up to know kids need all the help they can get. They deserved to be safe. Loved. Happy.
Which is why she’s determined to get her new client into a forever home.
But the truth isn’t always good…
The last thing Zach needs is a little girl showing up on his doorstep claiming she’s his. Her social worker hot on her heels, and demanding a place to stay, definitely doesn’t make it any better. Especially with Gianna’s curvy body and bedroom eyes, and his daughter’s sad sweetness, making him consider keeping both of them.
Gianna knows she should run. Zach knows he should send them away. But neither of them can resist the pull toward the other.
Mary E.
Thompson grew up loving to read, like a good little girl. Many nights she would
fall asleep with the flashlight still turned on as she hid under the covers
trying to finish the last few pages of a book. As an adult, the light from her
ereader means she doesn't need a flashlight, but she still stays up way too
late to finish a book.

Now for an Excerpt:
“We baked cookies today. Want to try one?” Zach asked when
Gianna came in the door.
“You made these?” she asked, holding one up.
He nodded, draping an arm around Summer’s shoulders. “We
did. It was a lot of fun. Wasn’t it?”
Summer nodded, giggling.
Gianna’s eyes narrowed, zeroing in on Summer. “What’s so
funny?”
Summer shook her head, but she was still grinning.
“I think she ate too many cookies,” Zach said with a
straight face. “Sugar high.”
“How long ago did you make these?”
“A few hours ago. We wanted to make sure we saved some for
you. Try it.”
Zach waited, wondering if Gianna would take the bait. She
examined the cookie closely.
“Is that mint?”
Summer burst out laughing and clamped her hand over her
mouth. Zach nodded. “We wanted to make something different. It’s mint cream and
chocolate cookies. They’re pretty good. I think you’ll like it.”
Gianna shrugged, then popped the whole cookie in her mouth.
She chewed, her eyebrows tugging together and her head tilting to the side.
Then she rushed to the sink.
“Ack! What happened? Those are not very good. Aren’t you a
chef?”
Summer was doubled over laughing. She looked up at Gianna
and said, “Those were toothpaste cookies! We got you!”
Gianna’s eyes bugged out. She looked pissed. A slow smile
turned her lips up, and Zach knew he was in trouble.
“Oh, payback is going to be so much fun!”

About the Author:
Mary E.
Thompson grew up loving to read, like a good little girl. Many nights she would
fall asleep with the flashlight still turned on as she hid under the covers
trying to finish the last few pages of a book. As an adult, the light from her
ereader means she doesn't need a flashlight, but she still stays up way too
late to finish a book.
When Mary's not
reading, she's playing with her two kids or living out her own real life
romance novel with her hubby. She has a weakness for chocolate, especially when
it's paired with peanut butter, and has been known to have a bad day just
because there's no chocolate in the house. Unless there’s wine. Then everything
is okay.
Mary grew up in
Buffalo, New York and swears she's the only local to never ski or snowboard.
Soccer was always her sport, with a couple adventures white water rafting and
skydiving to keep things interesting. Mary moved to South Carolina for college
but missed Buffalo every day. Yeah, she thinks she's crazy, too. She somehow
convinced her South Carolina born and bred hubby to return to Buffalo to raise
their kids and live out their lives. He’s still not sure what he was thinking.
