Deceived
2019
When a tragic car accident thrusts Brooke into the ownership of her parents' winery, deceit and lies become her near-constant companion, making an already stressful transition even more unbearable.
And while Matt, the ever-loyal yet disturbingly possessive accountant is all too eager to help Brooke manage every aspect, including herself, she can’t help but feel something even more unsettling is brewing behind his calculating eyes.
Declan’s family business is his pride and joy, and if he wants to run it someday, he has to keep their biggest client happy. Their current demand? A prominent local winery-and the land it sits on. No doubt it would only take one visit for him to charm the owners into selling.
But his plan hits a snag the second he lays eyes on the alluring woman, dead-set on maintaining her family legacy. For the first time, he can see a forever with a woman. A forever that’s threatened when she discovers who he really is.
Then the unthinkable happens: Declan is arrested for a catastrophic attack, threatening both their livelihoods and futures. And even though he maintains he’s innocent, Brooke’s trust is stretched so thin she doesn’t know what to believe.
Or who’s really to blame.
Who do you trust when everyone lies?
