Emma Porter is not real. She is an accomplished young woman, living a fulfilling life in New York City, working for an online news agency, and striving toward normalcy. The truth, however, is something else. She was once Emily Webster, a child of privilege, and the twenty-first-century Lindbergh Baby. Her high-profile, unexplained abduction and subsequent rescue led to a childhood of paranoia and preparedness, as her kidnapper remained at large and still on the hunt. With her father's guidance and resources, Emily became Emma Porter, living each day in her new identity, vigilant and unattached. Unattached but for the seemingly unbreakable tether that connects her to the man who, as a young boy, lived next door.

Like Emma, Nathan Bishop is not what he seems. Preparing to helm his family's defense contracting company, Nathan is better known for his womanizing and reckless behavior than his business acumen. His striking image peppers the pages of society tabloids and police blotters, but beneath the facade of a rake lurks a warrior. When an arms dealer procures a lethal bioweapon and is rumored to be selling it on U.S. soil, Nathan and his team must use every resource at their disposal to stop the threat.

With danger closing in, fate, once again, puts Emma in Nathan's path, and the two must determine if the weathered bond between them is enough to find the truth behind their false fronts.

Fans of Nora Roberts and Jayne Ann Krentz will love False Front.

Be advised: this story contains scenes of violence equivalent to an R-rated movie and explicit sexual situations.

High Suspense Romance
This is my second Debbie Baldwin novel, and it did not disappoint. I was riveted to my seat, book clutched in my had, as I feel deep into Em's world. It is a high paced, suspense driven, anxiety heightening read, with a a dash of lust thrown in. Wow, that lust! Baldwin's characters are multi layered, that reveal themselves bit by bit. Making you want to devour the entire book in one sitting, which I did. Emma Porter has had an intriguing past. Born into one of the richest families makes you unique enough. She was however abducted 15 years ago and held for months. No one knows why or who was behind the abduction. When she was finally rescued, they never released the information that she was found. Making it possible for her father to change her identity and take on a new life. The kidnapper is still at large. Will he target her again? She is tough, no nonsense and she will not let this stop her. She has started her first job as a reporter and her first big break is to interview playboy Nathan Bishop. Unknown to Nate, the two were next door neighbors growing up. He does not know that she is alive and well. There has always been a deep love for Nate, the question is will he know it is her? I absolutely loved this high suspense romance story between two fantastic, bold characters. You want to know their inner most thoughts and you care what happens to them. Even though it is a fast paced read, the story reveals itself slowly. Making you read faster and faster, until the pages are flying. Thank you to Debbie Baldwin for sending me a copy. The twists and turns, the animated friends, the drama, all meld together for one fantastic read! I am off to check out the second book in this series!

    False Front does not disappoint in any way. Interesting characters (including a few well depicted canines), surprises, twists, turns, and romance. Fun to read and truly hard to put down. Perfect way to spend time on your patio, couch or curled up in bed. Do yourself a favor and buy this book. Not corny at all. The story provides genuine intrigue, enough bad actors so all in all a wonderful and uplifting escape. Just the perfect book for 2020. Gotta love an author who can even portray dogs so you know their unique personalities. You will so enjoy meeting Emma, Chat, Nathan, Daisy, Tox, and so many more.......

    4.0 out of 5 stars GREAT PLOT
    Reviewed in the United States on April 20, 2023
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    The writing in this is VERY good! The plot is CHEF’S KISS. I was truly not sure what to expect going into this. I did not expect the plot to be so detailed and thought out, I mean it was SO good. I felt like I was watching a movie while reading this!

    I would say this is a romantic suspense, but I would say even with there being a good amount of romance, it is definitely more plot driven, which is great for those who prefer a good plot with their romance reads! 😍

    This has the hidden identity trope. Which I feel like I don’t read enough of! It is also childhood friends to lovers, which is a favorite trope of mine.

    You go in thinking that the MMC is this cocky, rich playboy, but there are so many more layers and things that you don’t know right away. He was actually so likeable, I understood why the FMC held onto her feelings for him since they were young, even with them losing contact for many years. 🫶🏼

    This poor FMC goes through it. But luckily, she isn’t the “poor me” type. She is very much a “I will take care of it, I can protect myself” kind of girlie which I really love. Her trauma made her stronger for sure. 💖

    This couple goes through a lot together but I am so happy about that ending!

    Awesome read! I cannot begin to say how much I enjoyed this book, took me almost 3 days to read it and I enjoyed every single page. The twists and turns you never see coming really punch through the story. How Emily survives without major setbacks was amazing! The brain works in mysterious ways to stop harm from a child.

    I found the storyline and characters engaging. Very well presented and nicely paced. Loved the main characters and their connection from an early age. Drama was organic and felt right. Often when you deal with tons of characters, some feel like distractions. Never felt this way; instead, I enjoyed what each brought to the table. The main characters’ connection could have turned clingy or unhealthy but did not. Loved what a force of nature Emily was throughout. Even though she carried scars, she was bad-a$$ to the bone. Will definitely read more from this author.

    Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2026
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    This book had a lot of events and components, so much so that I had a hard time following at certain points but eventually it all came together. I loved the mystery and complexity of the story,however the introduction of characters, at times was a little abrupt and confusing. I found myself lost on who characters were and how they related to the story due to how in-depth the author chose to go with the story. It was a catch 22....I loved how all consuming it was but at the same time, it was a little too much at times.

    I also felt as though there were some issues that were unresolved, even though this was not a cliffhanger. I enjoyed the relationship between the two main characters but didn't feel their origin story to be real in the least given their young age. If the author had made the ages of them older like maybe early teens when the incident occurred instead of 8 and 13 then it might have been more believable.

    This was, hands down, the best book I've read this year! It had everything I love: the male main character is swoon-worthy, built, intelligent, and deeper than he lets the world know. He is also a terrific hero! The Female main character is independent, capable, resilient, and just precious! There is: romance, intrigue, suspense, a mysterious past, kidnappings, rescues, and just about anything else you can think of that makes this an awesome read!! And, it's extremely well-written!! This is a book I will definitely be re-reading, and will most certainly read the entire series.

    Overall , the book was good but the multiple POV's in third person were annoying . We got more POV's of Dario than we did with Nathan to me and I couldn't care less about Dario POV. Also reading in third person always takes away from the personable aspect of the book. Feels like I'm just reading a fact sheet for almost every character in the book. Show me Dario's story not tell me through his POV . Emily and Nathan chemistry wasn't present for me for a lot of the book idk it was just lackluster . And their spicy scenes are very minimal and speak of surrendering "control" but it was half a page of a sex scene . But I liked the plot and the characters were interesting enough. I read Emily as her "robot voice" almost the entire book like she had a dry tone whenever she spoke and Idk why I did . nathan was nice enough though

    Intriguing story line, which, as someone who reads a few books a week this is the most important factor. The characters are strong and easy to love. Maybe a little difficult to follow the timeline in the beginning, but that cleared up further in. The story itself is set at a great pace. However, some scenes, including the ending, feel short and emotionless. In saying that, though, the way big moments in the book are handled by the characters is well written, and that really makes the book sing. The book does jump between several different points of view, and while this keeps the flow of information up, i find it's not my favourite writing style.

    Having read this series backwards it was good to see how the gang all came together. Nathan and Emily have known each other all their lives. She literally followed him everywhere and he literally adored her. She is kidnapped at age 8; leading to her getting a new identity and him feeling the burden of her loss.
    Years later he protects her when she is drugged by her date. That opens up an opportunity for her to interview him a few years later and eventually her identity is revealed. Their connection is still strong and as her life is threatened again the team comes together to end the threat to her life once and for all.

    This is a new author for me and I can’t wait to read the next book.
    This was a mystery, drama and love story all mixed in together.
    Nathan and Emily are explosive as a couple and the story woven around them is unique and both are very appealing.
    Mix in a group of former seals and you have the beginnings of a great story.
