SUSPECT...P

She was beautiful, intelligent...and possibly a corporate spy! Yet the more Jeb Delacourt "investigated" geologist Brianna O'Ryan, the more he felt her secret was not professional but personal...and the faster she made his pulse race.P

OR SOUL MATE?P

Her daughter was all that mattered to Brianna. And unnervingly sexy Jeb was getting too close to uncovering what the single mom had tried to keep hidden. But stolen kisses and midnight embraces soon had Brianna wondering if it was time to risk everything...for love.

About the author

Sherryl Woods

556 books4,531 followers
With two other careers to her credit before becoming a novelist and four states in which she's lived for extended periods of time, Sherryl Woods has collected friends and memories, along with way too much unnecessary junk.

"The friends are the only things I've brought with me through the years that really matter," she says. "I could probably live without one more chintz teacup, another tin-litho sandpail or another snowglobe, but I need those friends."

The theme of enduring friendships and families is always central to Sherryl's books, including her latest Chesapeake Shores series — THE INN AT EAGLE POINT, FLOWERS ON MAIN and HARBOR LIGHTS.

Author of more than 100 romance and mystery novels, Sherryl Woods grew up in Virginia. Over the years she had lived in Ohio and Florida, as well as California. Currently she divides her time between Key Biscayne, Florida and Colonial Beach, Virginia, the small, river-front town where she spent her childhood summers.

A graduate of Ohio State University School of Journalism, Sherryl spent more than ten years as a journalist, most of them as a television critic for newspapers in Ohio and Florida. For several years she also coordinated a motivational program for the more than 8,000 employees at the University of Miami-Jackson Memorial Medical Center.

Her first book, RESTORING LOVE, was published in 1982 by Dell Candlelight Ecstasy under the pseudonym of Suzanne Sherrill. Her second book, SAND CASTLES, under the pseudonym of Alexandra Kirk, was published later that same year by Bantam. She began using her own name when she moved to the Second Chance at Love line at Berkley Publishing. In 1986, she began writing full-time and also began her long career at Silhouette Books with the Desire title NOT AT EIGHT, DARLING, set in the world of television which she covered for so many years.

In addition to her more than 75 romances for Silhouette Desire and Special Edition, she has written thirteen mysteries — nine in the Amanda Roberts series and four in the Molly DeWitt series.

When she's not writing or reading, Sherryl loves to garden, though she's not at her best on a riding lawn mower. She also loves tennis, theater, and ballet, even though her top spin has long since vanished, she's never set foot on a stage, and she's way too uncoordinated to dance. She also loves baseball and claims anyone who's ever seen Kevin Costner in "Bull Durham" can understand why.

Jeb Delacourt finds himself attracted to company's geologist Brianna O'Ryan. But when things start happening at his family's company that point towards espionage Jeb decides to do some investigating and points fingers toward Brianna when he suspects that she is keeping secrets.

Brianna does have secrets -- but not in the way that Jeb has assumed. His accusations really hurt Brianna and reminds her why she can never rely on someone being there for her. Once Jeb learns the truth he will have to pull out all the stops if he ever wants another chance with Brianna.

Jeb' s father, Bryce, takes a page out of Harlan Adams matchmaking book with some unexpected results!!!

Jeb Delacourt has a problem. He wants to branch out at Delacourt Oil. By looking at potential problems, he thinks he can become as skilled an investigator as his brother Dylan. His suspicions about the new geologist at Delacourt lead him to some conclusions. They also lead him to fall in love with the woman, Brianna O'Ryan. He is concerned about her secrecy, though. One of the things she is hiding is her small daughter, who is in a rehab facility recovering from a serious car accident. His investigation blows up in his face, and Brianna's too. He has a way to go to fix it all in time for their happy ending.

I love this series of books! I start reading and they are hard to put down so I fly through the pages!

Brianna is a geologist working for the Delacourts. While doing so she is keeping a secret of her daughter who is in rehab. The only person to know is head honcho..

When Jeb starts suspecting her of being a plant he starts to woo her. But that wooing turns into love pretty fast..

When he finds out the secret of her daughter it is on..

Such a great love story!!

Jeb and Brianna

I really liked this book about family love and loyalty overpowering trust in a relationship. Jeb suspects Brianna of telling corporate secrets, and falls in love with her.
