Love, Lies and Compromise — Debby Conrad

It only takes one lie to ruin a relationship . . . She broke his heart years ago and now Kennedy is back in his life again. Jake Hastings has no idea what she is up to but he knows it has nothing to do with her wanting to be a companion to his dying father. So what the hell does she want? In spite of him knowing she is a liar, a cheat and possibly a thief he can't keep his hands off her. He still loves her, no matter her faults. Kennedy Parker hates lying to Jake but she has no choice. If she doesn't help the local sheriff, who is also her ex-father-in-law, get what he wants then she could end up behind bars. When Jake catches Kennedy snooping around his home, he fires her, but not before she finds what it is she came for. However, after examining the damaging evidence that might prove her ex-husband was a murderer and her ex-father-in-law covered it up she knows she can't protect them. Even if it means she could go to jail as well. And yet if Jake discovers her ex-husband was the one who murdered two members of his family, their love will be lost a second time. This time forever.
