MAKE ME TELL LIES – Book 2 of the REDMOND FAMILY SECRETS!

“People shouldn’t tell lies, right? But they do, and their reasons range from the nepharious to the benign. Sometimes to save a heart, and sometimes to break it.”


“Junior fashion designer Holly Redmond’s esteem issues began with her birth parents’ abandonment at three months old, and have continued with every failed relationship, every rejected dress design. And just when she starts to believe she is worthy of love, sexy and charismatic Lorenzo Lombardo – the boss’s nephew – fires her after their first date. Despite being accused of a serious crime she couldn’t have committed, Holly lands a job at a new fashion house on the same day a disgraced Lorenzo turns up there, too.

“Lorenzo can’t believe his bad fortune: losing his father’s prosperous formalwear design house to his unscrupulous uncle cut him to the core. Now, after being forced to wrongfully fire the girl he’s just fallen for, he finds himself out of a job. His strong, ethical upbringing prevents him from playing dirty, but he must find a way to defeat his uncle and claim his rightful seat as the head of La Bella Milanese – hopefully with Holly by his side.

“Finding the parents who dumped her twenty-four years ago might help Holly to grasp her past, but her future depends on her ability to let go of old hurts, find her place among the echelon in fashion design and maybe, regain Lorenzo’s trust.”

MY TRUTH BE TOLD – Book 3 of the REDMOND FAMILY SECRETS!

“It’s no secret that I don’t care to know who my deadbeat parents were.”


“The belief that his biological parents were worthless drug addicts has kept 29-year-old Jeremy Redmond from ever caring about who they were or where they might be. But when cute & quirky Gracie Martyn brings him a photo of a bizarre tattoo – identical to the one on his right hip – Jeremy signs on for the emotional road trip of his life.

“Gracie Martyn has never been one to walk away from a good mystery, and the odd but familiar ink on boat builder Jeremy Redmond’s hot body qualifies. But is she ready to leave the safe confines of her So. California apothecary shop to face down a dangerous Mexican drug cartel – and take a chance on winning Jeremy’s heart?

“His growing attraction to Gracie serves to remind Jeremy that he’s not a white-picket-fence guy; but the search for his missing father ignites a long dormant need Jeremy can no longer ignore, and Gracie just might be the one to fill that need – if they can get out of the Mexican jungle alive.”

Home page for Author Anne Carter

For those who might be curious, I was born Pamela Ann Carter, and now go by Pam Ripling, my married name. When looking for a nom-de-plume at the beginning of my career, I wanted to pay homage to my late father so chose my middle (with the addition of that cute “e”) and maiden name.

In 2023, my plans are to release three new books! Writing during the pandemic was surprisingly inspiring, so I’m committed to upping my game and getting these fun new stories into your hands. Stay tuned!


Oh, and people often ask: why Beacon Street? Where did that come from? Those who know me know I have a deep fascination for lighthouses. Not surprisingly, many are located on streets such as Beacon Road, Beacon Way, etc. Of course, the most famous Beacon Street is in Boston, but my husband’s grandmother lived in a house on Beacon Street in Alhambra, California. Mostly, I just like the way it sounds.
