Life Matters — Rebecca A. Engel

There's a saying that the road to hell is paved with good intentions… and hell was just where Helen Wiels thought she was heading when, with the best of intentions, her fiancé, Jackson Wagner, hired an assistant for her. That assistant was her former boss, the woman who got Helen fired from her first job after she'd graduated from library school.

Helen thought the assistant's job was temporary, but she was wrong. The position was permanent, and worse, the woman was going to live with them. Not even Jackson's manor was big enough when the sniping, ill-tempered harridan was around.

Things went from bad to worse the night Jackson failed to come home. Helen can't convince anyone in authority that Jackson did not disappear voluntarily. The boundaries between friends and enemies became nebulous. No one was trustworthy when Helen was left to figure out on her own what happened to her fiancé.
