A woman with a hidden past. A new love on the horizon. Will the truth set her free or cost her everything?

Madeleine Ross has meticulously organized her world to leave no trace of her criminal past. After creating a new identity for herself, her only remaining connection to her previous life is the security work she does for a small-town insurance company. But, when she starts falling for her handsome boss, Dan, she’s worried letting him in will expose secrets best kept locked away…

As their attraction grows stronger, Madeleine's attempts to keep Dan in the dark go horribly wrong when a dangerous ex emerges from her unsavoury past. After her former flame gives her an offer she can't refuse, she has one choice left: ditch her life as a thief to let Dan in or embrace her shady dealings to destroy her only shot at a happy future…

Parallel Lies is the first book in the Ross Duology, a fast-paced romantic suspense series. If you like troubled heroines, character-driven action, and powerful emotions, then you’ll love this thrilling novel.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Georgia Rose is a writer and the author of the romantic and suspenseful Grayson Trilogy books: A Single Step, Before the Dawn and Thicker than Water. Following completion of the trilogy she was asked for more and so wrote a short story, The Joker, which is based on a favourite character from the series and the eBook is available to download for free at the retailer of your choice.

Her fourth novel, Parallel Lies, encompasses crime along with Georgia’s usual blending of genre and its sequel, Loving Vengeance, has now completed The Ross Duology.

Georgia’s background in countryside living, riding, instructing and working with horses has provided the knowledge needed for some of her storylines; the others are a product of her passion for people watching and her overactive imagination.

She has also recently started running workshops and providing one-to-one support for those wishing to learn how to independently publish and you can find her, under her real name, at www.threeshirespublishing.com.

Following a long stint working in the law Georgia set up her own business providing administration services for other companies which she does to this day managing to entwine that work along with her writing.

Her busy life is set in a tranquil part of rural Cambridgeshire in the UK where she lives with her much neglected husband and dog.

Detailed, suspenseful, page-turning story of deception as survival

Having read and thoroughly enjoyed Georgia Rose's "Grayson Trilogy," I was looking forward to her take on a standalone novel, one focused less on romance and more on the twists and intrigues of a good suspense narrative... I wasn't disappointed.

The story orbits around Madeleine Rose, a woman with a mysterious past and self-created identity, who's living a life that's both warm and satisfying, but, as well learn early on, clearly balanced on the thread of deception. We initially follow her as she engages in some dubious activities, only to learn that her unusual job for an insurance company includes spotting security breaches by actually causing them. What we don't know is what she's hiding.

As the story evolves, which it does slowly, we are, page-by-page, immersed in the characters, settings, and details of Maddie's life, which is rich and intriguing. Georgia Rose has a sharp facility for creating "place," with all its visuals and sensory elements, which is something I really enjoy about her work. The reader is able to easily picture, imagine, even smell the surrounds in which the characters live and engage, and that makes for a very visceral read, my favorite kind.

Once we get into the mechanics of her job and begin to learn a bit about her occluded past, it's clear there's danger there, and something, and someone, she's desperate to keep from her new life. But just as she meets and begins to be both conflicted by and attracted to a new man at the company, that past seeps dangerously back into her existence, causing her -- and us -- considerable concern.

The story takes some unexpected twists, and there were times when Maddie seemed to be on the brink of making self-destructive choices (yet again), but that precarious journey is part of what makes this such a suspenseful read. I appreciated her strength and cleverness, her ability to survive and get herself out of tangles without looking to others (men) to get the job done... that's always refreshing! I might have liked a few more pages at the end, but certainly even that was unpredictable, which is the crafty style of this writer!

All in all, another excellent read by a very talented author.

Can you ever truly escape your past?

Parallel Lies falls in the genres of mystery and romantic suspense. The main character is Madeleine Ross, who lives in one of those BBC Sunday night drama type villages, where she fits in very well ... or so it seems. Right from the start, we realise that there is more to her than meets the eye, that she has big secrets about her identity. She's an interesting though not a particularly likeable character, often cold, cynical and critical, which was a plus point for me; I admire any author who has the confidence to make her main character someone the reader will not necessarily warm to, and I enjoyed her astute observations about the pretensions and social hierarchy of the villagers.

Because of the shocking and traumatic events in Maddy's past, she holds people at a distance. She does not form romantic attachments but finds partners for emotionless sex amongst regulars at her local gym; one can only imagine the conversations in the men's changing rooms. Then again, part of her charm is that she cares little for what people think, or so she would have us believe; that she tries to convince us of this speaks otherwise. And then one man appears to turn her heart on its head....

I gave a big round of applause for the way in which the mystery unfolds; the information is fed to the reader at the right time, in exactly the right amounts, to hold the reader's interest and make them wonder what's round the next corner. Just when Madeleine's new life seems to be on the up, a love from her past arrives. He knows everything about her and threatens to insert a particularly malicious set of spanners into the works.

There were some elements about the novel that stretched feasibility for me, but, of course, disbelief suspension ceilings vary from person to person, and mine is probably lower than most. Recommended readers: anyone who likes an artfully unravelling mystery, heists, plenty of love life shenanigans and a fair few unexpected turns of event.

‘Parallel lies” is the fourth novel I’ve read by author Georgia Rose. I enjoyed The Greyson Trilogy and was looking forward to her latest standalone novel.
It’s a contemporary romantic thriller set in the UK. It’s written in the present tense mostly by the main character, Madeleine Ross.
Madeleine, who has recently moved from London, is trying to live a quiet life, keeping a low profile, in the idyllic English village of Crowbridge, although it’s soon clear that she has plenty of secrets she’s not prepared to share, even with the reader! Her hidden agenda is very gradually and suspensefully disclosed. She has many personal issues to deal with throughout the novel, including her promiscuous attitude to sex, which she uses to make up for her insecurities, rooted in her childhood.
She interacts with a variety of local characters in the village. I liked the way her supportive relationship with a young girl, who also has to deal with a complex, dysfunctional family, brings out the best in Madeleine, reminding her of her own traumas.
Madeleine also has an unusual, unorthodox and secret job with an insurance company. Matters are further complicated by her personal, professional and romantic relationship with her boss’s nephew, Daniel, whom she doesn’t trust, and the reappearance of her former, unscrupulous boyfriend, threatening to wreck her life.
Parallel Lies was a pleasure to read. I enjoyed the way Madelaine’s character gradually unfolded and developed throughout the novel, and there were many twists and turns to keep me interested right to the end.
Especially for lovers of well written romantic suspense set in the UK.

Dark and powerful

I was gripped from the start by this mighty tale told in the first person mainly by Madeleine, a complex character whose past is revealed bit by bit. She has escaped a dysfunctional and impoverished London existence and made a new life in the Home Counties. But can she keep juggling the different aspects of her life? The pace of the story kept me intrigued. And when you think things can’t get any worse – they do. In addition to Madeleine the other characters are multi-faceted and intriguing. Two of them add a small amount of detail in the first person from their perspective. There is plenty of action and the ending is full of complex twisty bits.
