Emery “Cotton” Bishop has things she wants to forget. Secrets that need to stay buried. Emery is shocked to find instant attraction to a rugged Irishman in the local donut shop. It doesn’t matter, though—after a trouble-filled stint in the military, she’s returning to her small hometown to heal and move on. Nothing’s ever that easy, though. Brodie Gallagher came to Jessup Falls, Virginia to help save the life of Emery’s best friend. Barely a month later, he’s contracted to kill Emery. Brodie wasn’t expecting instant sparks upon meeting Emery. He really wasn’t anticipating the order from his boss, head of the Irish mob, telling him to kill her. Why would anyone want to kill this woman with shadows in her eyes? Even more puzzling is the question of who. When a second contract killer is dispatched to do the job Brodie is struggling with, he does the only thing he can think of… …and makes Emery disappear. In Lies We Trust is the third installment in the Reclaiming Heaven series, and is a standalone.
