About Echo of Lies

In the shadow of post-war New Mexico and the Roswell mystery, a young woman fights to reclaim her future. Francie Cortez is smart, determined, and desperate for more from life than dust under her boots, but in post-WWII New Mexico, old rules and deep traditions chased her away from a future that included college and a career. Following a broken engagement and the sudden disappearance of her father, Francie retreats to the family ranch, a refuge where she tends wounds she believes may never truly heal. Her bitter isolation shatters when a mysterious alien object crashes on her land, sparking a chain of events that thrusts Francie into a tangled web of government secrets, unexpected allies, and unforeseen enemies. At first, her greatest fear is losing her ranch and home. But as the stakes become clear, she realizes the danger is far greater than she ever imagined. Francie's fight to protect her home turns into a race to uncover her family's buried truths and her role in a future still unfolding. Facing a menacing spaceman and a charming, secretive soldier, she must find a courage she didn't know she had - and decide whether to rewrite her story in a world just beginning to hear her, or retreat back into a smaller, safer life. Echo of Lies is a sweeping blend of romance, speculative science fiction, and historical intrigue set against the rugged ranchlands and mysterious skies above Roswell. It's a story about a young woman standing tall, breaking barriers, and finding love when the future feels uncertain - a story you'll want to devour in one sitting. If you love strong, layered characters and stories that mix history, mystery, and a bit of science, this is definitely your next read.
