Killing Lies — Desiree Holt

After her husband was killed and she lost her unborn child, Sarah Madison believed she'd never find love and happiness again. Instead, she has channeled all her energy into her job as assistant to the sexy CEO of Guardian Security. When he proposes a marriage of convenience, the chance to become a mother is tempting, and so is her new prospective husband. His only flaw -- the distance he keeps between himself and his sweet little daughter.

Reno Sullivan's life is a mess. His first marriage was based on a lie, and the fiery death of his wife left him to raise a baby -- a constant reminder of his wife's deceit. He desperately needs someone to mother the child and take charge of his personal life, and his no-nonsense assistant is perfect for the job. Unfortunately, the alluring woman in the bedroom next to his chips away at his determination to maintain the hands-off clause in their agreement and the ice around his heart.

A near-tragedy and Reno's fear of love could kill Sarah's hopes of turning their fake marriage into happily ever after…
