If you are a fan of sizzling romantic suspense with a bodyguard-turned-protector twist, a heroine who refuses to back down, and a hero who cannot keep his hands off the one woman he should be avoiding, Playing with Lies is an absolute must-read for your Kindle. This is the first book in the Hollow Point series, a four-book romantic suspense saga that has captivated thousands of readers worldwide.Vanessa Hale has a stalker, and she is terrified. When she turns to the one man she knows can help, Detective Dalton Neary swoops in as her personal protector.

What starts as a protective arrangement quickly spirals into something neither of them expected, as the chemistry between them becomes impossible to ignore. Dalton knows he should keep things professional, but the pull towards Vanessa is something he cannot fight. She has become an obsession, and when her life comes crashing down around her, walking away is simply not an option. But this is not just a love story. Lies and family secrets turn the heat up even further when a life-or-death situation threatens to destroy Vanessas entire family and rob Dalton of his second chance at love. The tension ratchets up with every page as the stalker closes in, forcing both Dalton and Vanessa to confront not just the danger around them, but the walls they have built between each other.Playing with Lies is the kind of book that grabs you from the first chapter and refuses to let go until the very last page.
