The Gift of Deception

Once again, Maggie Watson is left high and dry. After two failed marriages and numerous tumultuous affairs, she gives the internet a chance. She's quick to connect with a man she feels is "the" one, and follows her heart to Nickel Town, Texas where Tom Anderson has arranged for their purchase of the Stepping Stone Nursery. All is well until Tom vanishes one day, leaving behind only a vague explanation. In the middle of the night, the discovery of a package on Maggie Watson's front porch brings intrigue to her repetitive life. It sparks her to reach out to Montgomery County Sheriff's Department, in particular, the ever-delicious, Deputy Nick Johnson. The emotional struggles thrive and wane as Nick and Maggie attempt to steady themselves while enduring continual harassment over the following weeks. Nick struggles to maintain his devotion to Maggie, fearful he'll fall into the pattern of others gone by.
