Blurb
My story isn’t a love story … not the typical kind anyway.
As a lawyer, I’m used to discovery, but I never saw this one coming.
Every day, River gives me ten reasons to stay away, and then eleven reasons why I can't. Our relationship was to remain strictly business, or at least I tried.
Four years of marriage, and everything with Cole has changed. I never knew two people who lived together could be so distant. But I’m not ready to give up on him.
One man wants to break me.
The other is just trying to get even.
Both are lying to me.
***This is a standalone contemporary romance (though a little unconventional and twisted!)

Excerpt #1
My eyes never leave my guest who’s dressed in a crisp navy blue suit, white shirt with the top two buttons undone, and expensive brown leather belt and shoes—the kind Cole works so hard for. River carries the look with ease.
“I hope I didn’t interrupt,” he says, sauntering toward one of my guest chairs.
“You’re early.”
He shrugs, relaxing into his seat. “I was bored, and I’ve noticed you like your coffee, so I thought I could buy you a cup. It’s the least I can do since you’re going to have to put up with me all day.”
“Who said you could barge into my office?”
He smirks. Stupid dimple. “Your secretary was missing so I helped myself.” His eyes stare into mine—too long and far too intense. “I didn’t mean to interrupt your phone call with Mr. Mason, by the way.”
“Something tells me you’re not feeling all that guilty.”
“You’re right, but I did learn something about you.” His elbow rests on the arm of the chair, index finger brushing his chiseled jaw.
“What’s that?” I ask, unable to look away.
“You profess love with indifference.”
My mouth falls open before I realize it. I quickly recover, searching for my voice. “What do you know about love?”
“Enough,” he says simply.

Lia's Review
Omg. Omg. O.M.G. That was pretty much my reaction the entire time I was reading this book. When I saw the buzz surrounding this one I needed it in my grabby hands. Let me tell you, the praise this book is getting is real. My god, I devoured it in a day and then wanted to smack myself for reading it so fast. This one is definitely going in my re-read pile, and not many books make it into that section of my kindle. It's that good.
If a sweet romance is your thing, move along, this definitely isn't the book for you. This book is edgy, pushes some boundaries and, above all that, there are some serious mind fuck moments. I was so unsure where Lisa DeJong was going to go with this story. And that's what made this an easy Five Star read for me. It's sexy, it's unpredictable and definitely worth every penny you spend on it. Prepare to leave your comfort zone and buckle in for a bumpy ride. Amazing.
