A beautiful woman in disguise running for her life; a man who hates deception and lies; and the event that almost destroys them.

Katie Worthington has lived with her beloved grandfather since her parents’ death. When he is killed by men she had thought were close friends and realizes she is their next target, she takes off and joins the circus.  Hiding as Dorothy Duncan, a circus kitchen worker, offers her a chance to get out of town without being seen. By the time the circus reaches Kincaid Springs, Katie has dyed her auburn hair black and become Maharani Shimza, the new fortune teller. Things go wrong when she is attacked in the fortune teller’s tent, and she lands in protective custody at Judge Kincaid’s home.

Gabe Kincaid came to Kincaid Springs to work in his great-uncle’s law office and get away from those who had deceived him. He’s certain the fortune teller is spinning one yarn after another. When first the body of a local man is found behind the circus tent and then the previous fortune teller is killed, he realizes Katie is telling at least part of the truth. But, why do questions about her past terrorize her more than threats at the circus?

Can Gabe determine the circus killer before he strikes again? Will Katie be safe at the Judge’s home? Will her past catch up to her? Can love blossom between Katie and Gabe or is too much stacked against them?
