Ice Cold Liar by Cynthia Eden

She is beautiful, charming, and guilty as sin.

Ebenezer “Eb” Jones is in the mood for deadly payback. He knows that Naomi Romano killed his friend and former CIA partner. The cops suspected her, the DA wanted to charge her, but the woman was far too smart for them. She slipped away from justice. Or so she thinks. He’s about to make certain that she pays for her crimes. A life for a life. He will absolutely wreck her life. Promise made.

He’s dangerous, conniving, and cold-blooded to the core.

Lying is second nature to Eb. Pretending to be someone else is as easy as breathing. So he works to slip past Naomi’s guard. To learn her secrets. And he will learn those secrets. Even if he has to seduce them all from her beautiful, lying lips. Does that make him cold-blooded? Guilty as charged. It’s a dirty job, but someone has to do it.

Another enemy is stalking his prey.

Eb isn’t the only predator who wants justice. Naomi is being hunted, and Eb has to step in and shield her from a series of deadly attacks. Everywhere she turns, Naomi faces danger. He pretends to be the good guy, the savior that she needs. She breaks before him, desperate for help, and Eb realizes the woman is either one very fine actress…or maybe she’s not the killer he thought.

Now she believes he is a hero and doesn’t know that he is someone she should fear.

Eb succeeded in his mission of getting close to Naomi. Except now, his careful control is unraveling. He begins to want her. To need her with a desire that is more savage and primitive than any he’s ever felt before. Two options—Naomi is the best liar he has ever met in his life…or Eb has made a fatal mistake. He’s betrayed a woman who might own his heart, and if he’s not careful, a jealous enemy closing in on them may rip her from his world.

She also might wind up hating him forever once she learns just how deeply his betrayal runs…

Passion can be lethal. And love? It will make heroes turn into monsters.

Author’s Note: Time to solve another cold case with the Ice Breakers! Except…this case is far too personal for Ebenezer Jones. And when things get personal, rules will be broken. Control will be lost. And a man with an ice-cold heart may find himself lying—and falling for—a woman who is not meant to be his. A master of disguise, Eb can pretend to be anyone, anytime. Getting the truth from Naomi should be easy. Falling for her? That should not be part of the plan. Yeah…his plan is about to explode.
