About the book

Olivia Harris was desperate! She needed money...and fast. Trouble was, the only person she could turn to for help was the last man whom could offer it. Edward Archer wanted the truth behind Olivia's relationship with his stepfather, but she was determined to keep her secrets! So when Edward started taking over Olivia's life, she was worried. Instead of hating Edward, she began to like him all too much...but how could she? She was a woman accused and Edward had set himself up as prosecutor, judge and jury...and Olivia's only defense was love!
