Beneath the lies is truth-and temptation that neither of them can resist. Book Five of the Hearts of the South series. Investigator Celia St. John is hopelessly attracted to the one man she shouldn't want, district attorney Tom McMillian. Arrogant and completely alpha, McMillian is the type of man she likes-a tough son of a bitch. The problem? He's her boss, and he's still hung up on his ex-wife. Since his marriage to a law enforcement agent failed after the death of his infant son, Tom has avoided emotional involvement with any woman. Despite his attraction to Celia, he refuses to get involved with another cop. Their no-strings affair quickly becomes a tangled web of intrigue as they investigate an illegal baby adoption ring and more than one murder, one of which points to Tom as a suspect. The more they dig under the lies, the higher the risk, not only to their relationship, but their lives. Warning: this title contains the following: explicit sex, language, violence.
