He had no idea it was so bad.

Former FBI agent Garrison Kopp suspected his teenage son was in trouble, but a midnight summons to the ER reveals the drug problem is more serious than he thought. Desperate to get his son away from negative influences, he asks a beautiful and kind new friend who owns rental properties for a place to stay.

She’ll help, as long as she doesn’t have to risk anything.

Vacation homeowner Samantha Messenger is happy to provide Garrison and his son a lake cabin where they can regroup. She helps him search for a good rehab facility and tries not to hope for more than friendship. After what she’s been through, more isn’t an option, no matter what her heart wants.

Big trouble comes in tiny packages.

Sparks fly between them as Sam and Garrison work together to help the resistant teen. But that becomes the least of their problems when a package planted in Garrison’s car lures enemies to the idyllic cabin on the lake. With their lives—and love—on the line, can they protect all they hold dear?

Editorial Reviews

From the Author

This is the third book in the Hidden Truth series. It's special to me because it delves into the challenge a father faces when he realizes his son is an addict. I have a loved one in my family who has struggled with drug addiction, so in writing this book, I was able to revisit some of the tangled and confusing emotions that came along with that very difficult time in our lives. The story, of course, is entirely fictional, but the father's struggles feel very close to home. If you have a loved one who struggles with addiction, seek help. There are so many wonderful people who've walked this path and who will help you navigate yours. This is not something you want to tackle alone.

About the Author

Robin Patchen is an award winning multi-published author, but only because she can't pursue her other dream. If time and money were no object, Robin would spend her life traveling. Her goal is to visit every place in the entire world--twice. She longs to meet everybody and see everything and spread the good news of Christ. Alas, time is short and money is scarce, and her husband and three kids don't want to traipse all around the world with her, so Robin does the next best thing: she writes. In the tales she creates, she can illustrate the unending grace of God through the power and magic of story.

Robin Patchen is a USA Today bestselling and award-winning author of Christian romantic suspense. She grew up in a small town in New Hampshire, the setting of her Nutfield Saga books, and then headed to Boston to earn a journalism degree. After college, working in marketing and public relations, she discovered how much she loathed the nine-to-five ball-and-chain. After relocating to the Southwest, she started writing her first novel while she homeschooled her three children. The novel was dreadful, but her passion for storytelling didn’t wane. Thankfully, as her children grew, so did her writing ability. Now that her kids are adults, she has more time to play with the lives of fictional heroes and heroines, wreaking havoc and working magic to give her characters happy endings. When she’s not writing, she’s editing or reading, proving most of her life revolves around the twenty-six letters of the alphabet.

    Teenage drug dealing, addiction, sociopathic killers, agoraphobia, rehab, and sober living! Book 3 of 3 deals with so many tough issues! The drug addicted teen, Aiden, is Garrison Kopp's son. Aiden's mother, divorced from Garrison, is an addict. Garrison, former FBI Agent, now does forensic accounting so he can be home more for Aiden. It's not helping; Aiden is sullen, manipulative, mendacious, slovenly, and addicted to oxy.

    Aiden's addiction is only the tip of the iceberg in this complex storyline. The character development is superb; the bad guys are wicked and the "normal" people are really likable. This author's writing style is impressive and wonderfully descriptive. "Its good to hit bottom. That's where the solid ground is."

    Each book in the series stands alone well with no cliffhanger, but the stories are connected by the characters who know each other. While dealing with difficult issues, the storyline is rich with hope and the love of God. The suspense is scary, the love story is heartwarming! You won't want to miss this inevitably feel-good read!

    Not even the strongest people can survive without at least some help from others, but choosing to be vulnerable enough to ask is a challenge. This struggle is a recurring theme in this fast-paced, heartfelt novel.

    Garrison is a loving father trying to save his adolescent son from substance abuse. To further complicate things, he has to confront his growing feelings for Sam, a woman facing demons and struggles of her own. When a dangerous situation arrives to threaten them, Garrison and Sam must learn to trust God, friends, and one another to endure.

    With vivid, relatable characters, drama, suspense, and inspirational themes about faith and love, Generous Lies keeps the reader engaged on multiple levels. I highly recommend this book. Just be prepared to want to read it all in one sitting!

She has panic attacks so she never leaves her small town. She suffered a traumatic experience in college and now this has cause her anxiety . She makes a life for herself. She has many friends and her business to keep her busy and happy. Last year she met an FBI agent who was helping with a case in her home town and through that they became friends and have kept in touch. One day out of the blue Garrison Kopp calls her needing her help . He needs a place to stay for a few days and naturally Sam wants to help him so she offers him and his son a place to stay for a few days. They will stay in one of her rental cabins. Garrison and his son Aiden have some problems to work out. Can Sam help Garrison? What problems are Garrison and his son bringing to her quiet little town? Garrison Kopp is a former FBI who helped solved a crime a while back on Clearwater Lake. He met and befriended a woman named Sam . Now he needs her help. His son Aiden overdosed on some really bad drugs and he needs to get Aiden away from that environment and dry him out. He goes to Clearwater Lake to stay in one of Sam's cabins. He is now an forensic accountant and he has no idea how to detox is son and keep him clean . All he knows is that he has to get him out of town and away from the drugs and Aiden's friends. Garrison has no idea that trouble will follow them and made things even more difficult . Can Garrison get Aiden clean and keep him that way? What kind of trouble is Aiden really in and how will he deal with it? This is book 3 in the hidden truths series and can be read as a stand along however I recommend reading them all in order because the characters appear in the others as well. This book has anxiety disorders, broken marriages, killers and drugs as a back drop. This book deals with the difficult subject of drug addiction and how if affects everyone involved . There is also a mystery about a missing package and the trouble that with the package. I love this book The author has had to deal with drug addiction in family and she has a first hand look at how it affects the families involved .She did a fantastic job in this book. I recommend all the books in this series. This book also deals with anxiety disorders and how they can cripple someone's life if they allow it. There is a love story as well but it is the main focus of the story . It also talks about ones faith and how it can get a person through anything This is a clean ,Christian book. Loved it.

    When former FBI agent Garrison Kopp's teenaged son is found to have a drug addiction, he's desperate to find help for him. But what if his son doesn't want to be helped? Garrison feels it'd be better to travel out of town with his son--the further son Aiden is from his friends and connections, perhaps the easier it'll be to overcome the drug addiction. But one of Aiden's friends has hidden something in Garrison's car--and the rest is edge-of-your seat suspense to the end! There's murder, kidnapping, and danger with a developing romance between Garrison and his friend Samantha. An exciting read with relatable characters. I found the struggles of dealing with a child who's addicted to drugs realistically and honestly portrayed as well. I highly recommend this book--and this entire series!

    Robin Patchen is a great writer of Christian suspense and romance. This book is about a father, Garrison Kopp, who decides he needs to do something drastic to get his son’s attention, and help him get off of the drugs he is taking, which were gradually stealing his son’s life. He calls a friend, Samantha, (who he wants to get better acquainted with) and asks if she has a cabin available; then he takes his son, Adrian, out of state, reducing contact with and calls to his friends. An additional plot weaves in and out of this, involving others in a potentially deadly situation. This book is one that is difficult to stop reading—you will likely be so wrapped up in the story, you won’t want to stop reading! Be sure to get a copy, and find out, for yourself. You won’t be sorry!
