Duplicity

He was hired to protect her.
Falling for her wasn’t part of the deal.  

Branded the “Nurse of Death,” Cassandra Hall lives in the shadows, her life fractured by a secret that is not hers to tell. One press conference could clear her name, but the truth would destroy those she loves.

Jaxton Carter knows the cost of trust. With a bullet lodged in his back, and betrayal etched into his past, the seasoned bodyguard trusts no one, including the woman he’s been hired to protect.

But Cass isn’t just another assignment. She’s compassionate. Loyal. Beautiful. And she’s keeping secrets.

He demands the truth. She won’t betray it.

As pressure mounts and old betrayals resurface, Jax and Cass are pulled into a web of suspicion and dangerous attraction. Then their passion ignites, and they soon realize the real danger isn’t what’s hidden, but what’s been right in front of them all along.

In a world built on lies, trust is the deadliest threat of all.
