When Shelby's seemingly perfect life gets tossed into chaos, she finds herself falling for the last person she expected: the FBI agent assigned to her criminal husband's case. ***** Shelby Hunt has the perfect life, married to the perfect man. At least, that's what everyone thinks. They couldn't possibly know about the years of lonely nights, the still unsigned divorce papers or the shady business practices her husband has brought home on more than one occasion. When her husband's illegal exploits put her in criminal crosshairs, Shelby finds herself at the mercy of Special Agent Conor Gallagher. The seasoned FBI agent is brash, bossy, and boyishly handsome in a way that makes Shelby's breath catch... even when he's interrogating her as a potential suspect. With dangerous enemies closing in - and dangerous attraction flaring between them - Shelby starts to realize she's dreading the day Conor catches her no-good husband. Not because she wants to save her marriage... but because she can't bear to say goodbye to the man who has quickly become her fiercest protector.
