Daily gimmicks of liars and cheaters in the club Hailey Walters works has her rethinking relationships and love, instead substituting them with alcohol, drugs, and mind-numbing sex. When her work life plummets into dangerous territory, Hailey packs her lonely life into a bag and takes off for the other side of the country overnight.
Hurt in the past by a spiteful ex-fiancée, Ryan O'Connor stays out of the lies lining the dating pool and even further from the snakes of relationships. Casual nights are forgettable, and forgettable is preferred. Or so he used to think.
The first honest encounter Ryan has with a woman turns out to be the one he can't forget, but in all the honesty she preaches and swears by, Hailey has secrets of her own. Secrets that don't want to stay silent or hidden no matter how hard she tries.
How does the saying go? All is fair in lust and lies.

Brave Enough To Love Again
I stood with my back to her, shielding her, and my murderous eyes stared down at the poor excuse of a man, promising unimaginable pain if he dared to move or even flinch.
