Deceived - Lisa Hughey

He's done trusting liars.

Marsh Adams, former US Marshal turned owner of a private witness protection firm, has a lot to atone for. In search of redemption, he's on a mission to prove to his business partner and employees that he won't screw up again by trusting the wrong woman.

She can't tell anyone the truth.

Ayesha Brown, an up and coming artist, is getting ready for her first headline show when a mistake from her family's past threatens everyone she loves. She doesn't have time for the sexy ex-lawman, she has two weeks to figure out how to thwart a blackmailer.

But their families have other plans.

Marsh's father and Ayesha's grandfather meddle, throwing them together so Marsh can protect Ayesha. When she refuses a bodyguard after being threatened, he realizes she is hiding something big. The last thing he needs is to hook up with her.

Ayesha tries to balance her family obligations with the lure of Marsh and her growing feelings for him. Ayesha can't have a shadow and she can't trust anyone, least of all Marsh. He's former law enforcement and she's about to become a criminal.

If she fails to fix her problem, her family will be ruined. If he helps her, his business will be ruined. Their fears can't stop their blistering attraction-will their relationship be their savior...or their downfall?
