She hired him to be her fake boyfriend. She never expected him to be her greatest threat?or her only hope.

Dr. Jordan Reed refuses to let another man control her life. To get her overbearing sister off her back?and prove to her ex that she's moved on?she hires Brock Hamill to play the part of her devoted boyfriend. It's a simple arrangement... until Brock starts digging into her past for reasons far more dangerous than she realizes.

Brock has his own agenda. He blames Jordan for his brother's downfall and is determined to ruin her reputation. Disguising himself as one of her patients, he sets out to destroy her career from the inside. But the more time he spends with her, the harder it is to reconcile the woman he's getting to know with the villain he's built in his mind. Jordan isn't cold or manipulative?she's kind, compassionate, and completely unaware of the storm heading her way.

When a real threat emerges?one that puts Jordan's life in jeopardy?Brock finds himself in an impossible position. Protecting her means betraying his own deception. But can she ever forgive him for the lies he told, even if he's the only one who can save her?
