Hiding Peyton
This book was previously published as EVERYTHING BUT THE TRUTH.
Right place at the wrong time . . .
Peyton Delaney relies on the local police and a U.S. Marshall to protect her after she witnesses a mob killing. But her trust in the authorities is shattered when someone not only discovers her hiding place, but tries to kill her as well. She manages to escape but some of the police aren’t so lucky. The Marshall, who was shot protecting her, gives her the name of a friend he said can be trusted to help.
But Peyton is terrified of everyone around her. She knows they’re looking for her everywhere, so how will she get out of town? Then, with the help of a friend, she disguises herself as a hooker and is able to elude the bad guys and step onto a bus. Since it worked so well, she decides, for her own safety, to keep the disguise.
Ex-cop Reeve Sinclair agrees to babysit the woman who arrives on his doorstep, but his buddy never said she was a hooker. At any rate, he’d given his word and drives the woman to a cabin in the woods, where he believes they’ll both be safe. But there is a leak in the police force and Reeve is soon trying not only to save the sexy stranger’s life but his own as well.
The more time he spends with her the more he is determined not to fall for her. She’s a hooker after all. And he doesn’t trust her. But there is something about this woman drawing him in, and he realizes he can’t fight his attraction to her any longer. Now he has more trouble than just dodging bullets.
Does she feel the same way? Or is she just using him? Because so far she has told him everything but the truth.

Lena's Review
All Peyton Delaney wants to do is make a difference in a person’s life. She never thought she would be on the run trying to stay alive. Witnessing a murder was not a thing she wanted to see in her life. Now she must be something she never wanted to be which is a prostitute to stay alive. At this point she just wants to crawl and hide but Reeve Sinclair won’t let her. This man brings out her rudeness and yet at the same time she wants to jump him. All she knows is he is the one she must trust with her life no matter at what cost. Yet all she wants is her life to be back to normal. Someone wants her definitely dead at any cost even it means killing Reeve in the process. Can she stay alive? Can she confide in Reeve about her real identity?
Reeve Sinclair has sworn to never go back into police work. After the death of his wife he has sworn to be with his son and lead a normal life. Yet he never expected to meet a woman like Pepper a.k.a. Peyton. Right off he knows she is hiding something and will find out what it is. Once he knows her real identity it shows him how courageous she is in this whole thing. Someone wants her dead and he is determined to see her alive being one step ahead of the killer. Can he do it? Can he protect Peyton long enough to tell her how he really feels towards her?
Oh my god Debby Conrad did such an awesome job in this book I wanted more. Peyton just wants to be a good counselor and make a difference in a girl’s life. I loved that Reeve is determined to not fall for her but the heart speaks differently. These two were great and the chemistry with them is hot once they explore it. Definitely a great book packed with suspense, action, chemistry and a man determined to protect his woman at any cost.
4 Tea Cups!
