How Long am I Supposed to be a Liar—or Love One?

Charlotte Roche is desperate to begin a new life—one that includes a move to Chicago, a prestigious executive position with the elite Lyons Howe Real Estate conglomerate, and a budding relationship with the elusive Alexander Gaines. So, she told a few white lies to land the job, and failed to mention that she’s running from a very dangerous history. If she succeeds, no one need ever know.

Alex Gaines is hiding a past also and doing it very well. A billionaire before forty, Alex is handsome, intelligent and logical, about everything but Charlotte. If he gets too close to the dark beauty she might learn too much, but the heart knows what the heart wants, and after dating models and actresses, Alex finally desires a woman of substance.

Both suspicious by nature, Alex and Charlotte are moving slowly until Charlotte takes a tumble in the park. Was it a simple mishap as she claims, or was Charlotte targeted for attack? Alex resolves to discover the truth and draw Charlotte closer, insisting she recover in his penthouse apartment.

One thing is certain, their chemistry is scorching, Alex and Charlotte tiptoe a tightrope of truth and fiction, captivated by one another, but committed to protecting the past.

Falling in love doesn’t promise falling in line, and soon the couple is grappling to commit to each other without pledging to the truth. When a dangerous threat from Charlotte’s past emerges, they must choose between their love and their lies.
