Trading bullets for board meetings, or so he thought.

Connor Matthews, a Marine and now gun for hire, is not what you'd call the quintessential businessman. But when his father's unexpected passing leaves the family business to him and his brother, Connor agrees to take over until his brother finishes his last tour of duty. Connor resigns himself to a life of dull meetings and paperwork, but quickly finds himself mired in his father's web of shady business deals. And in the midst of the mess is Olivia Taylor, his gorgeous and headstrong ex-girlfriend.

Since they last parted, Olivia has known nothing but grief, heartache, and loss. Despite it all, she's built a life for herself--a life with no room for the likes of Connor Matthews. She's survived more than most could endure, but Connor has the ability to ruin everything she's worked so hard to achieve. She must put the past behind her in order to survive . . . but can she forgive the man who broke her heart?

A second chance romantic suspense. Unlike the other books in the series, this book is told in 1st person dual point of view.

Review

⭑⭑⭑⭑⭑ "If I wasn't already in love with Brittney Sahin's writing, I am hopelessly besotted after reading Buried Lies, because this is the first book she has written in first person. ... leaves the reader swooning with an unhealthy obsession for a fictional character."
-Rochelle's Reviews / 5 star review

⭑⭑⭑⭑⭑ "I was hooked from the first chapter! The characters are strong and the story flows well! I'm actually gutted that the book ended. I could have just kept on going! I'm all for Connor and Jake to become my new book boyfriends!"
-2 Girl's Who Love Books 5 star review

⭑⭑⭑⭑⭑ "This is a smooth flowing, well thought out puzzle of a story and every piece fits beautifully."

Brittney Sahin is a Wall Street Journal and Amazon Top 5 bestselling author of romantic suspense novels.

She began writing at an early age with the dream to be a published author before the age of 18. Although academic pursuits (and, later, a teaching career) interrupted her aspirations, she never stopped writing--never stopped imagining.

It wasn't until her students encouraged her to follow her dreams that Brittney said goodbye to Upstate New York in order to start a new adventure in the place she was raised: Charlotte, North Carolina. Here, she decided to take her students' advice and begin to write again.

In 2015, she published her first novel, Silenced Memories (The Safe Bet). When she is not working on upcoming novels, she spends time with her family. She is a proud mother of two boys, and a lover of suspense novels, coffee, and the outdoors.

This one really had me on the edge of my seat! Lies within lies within lies, and me shouting, "OMG, tell each other the truth!" The resolution and ending were really great. I love a good romance with a good plot!

I couldn’t wait for Connor’s story after meeting him in book 1 and 2, and what a story it was. This is a second chance love story with suspense, bad guys, family secrets, lies, and so much more.

Olivia was tough as nails but she did screw up and made a TSTL decision that made me yell at my book. Connor was great, just as I thought he would be. The surprise at the end made the HEA even better.

Ben and Jake were there and I am looking forward to Jake’s book next.

Do I recommend? Yeppers!
Will I continue? Already have the next book downloaded and ready to go!

5.0 out of 5 stars Sensual, Sexy Romantic Love Story and FBI Thriller Rolled into One !!!
Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2022

The dynamic sensual love story starts out rocky!!! but what and adventure. Connor and Olivia have a romantic past which had ended tragically, but finds away to overcome. Throwing in the Russian Mafia and FBI twists are engaging. Connor has to call in his military brothers (Jake, Adrian (Ava)! Oops Michael and Kate missed the action because Connor didn't want to bother them returning from their honeymoon. Let's not forget Olivia's sister was murdered, and that's Olivia story a FBI undercover agent....drama and excitement in the making!!! But, the hot sensual chemistry between Connor and Olivia is beyond off the chart!!!

A must read. Couldn't put my Kindle down!!!!!

This book was entertaining to read. However I had trouble following some of the timeline in the book. I had to go back and re-read some chapters to sort it out. So I gave this book 4 stars , because I'm not sure if the fault laid with the writing or the reader, but I still found it entertaining.

Connor Matthews & Olivia Scott, college sweethearts pulled apart by life suddenly thrust together again.

Connor is an ex-Marine now working private security details, rescue operations, jobs he chooses. He has stayed close to a
few friends from his deployment in Iraq, his brothers in arms.
Connor learns his dad has passed, he is thrust into the corporate world as CEO of his family’s business. A suit & tie are not his wardrobe of choice.

Olivia is working as an administrative assistant to a high powered tech company. She is playing a role, has a hidden agenda, seeking vengeance for a family member. Connor comes back into her life in an unexpected way and he is equally stunned to see her again. Ten years apart hasn’t dulled the pain or helped them forget the past. They both harbor secrets and have trust issues.

They’ll have to learn to let go in order to heal and love again.
Only question is will they, and will it be too late?
This is book 3 in the Hidden Truths series, which follows our group of Marines, Michael, Aiden, Connor, Jake & Ben, and their lives after the service.

5.0 out of 5 stars Third Hidden Truths book!
Reviewed in Canada on April 30, 2019

I loved this story of misunderstandings and forgiveness. It was so heartfelt how Connor and Liv never really stopped thinking about each other but their trust was broken. Them fighting for each other, realizing that it didn't matter what happened in the past had me loving this couple. I love the added suspence Brittney brings to her books, you're really never sure exactly what's going to happen and it really brings her characters together. I also love seeing characters from her past books and upcoming books. It really makes you get to know her characters, root for them and fall in love with them!

The story starts fast and just keeps going, taking the reader on a heck of a rollercoaster ride.
Full of suspense, mystery, romance, seriously hot sexy bit, alpha guy taking on a callous player involved with the Russian mob, secret guns, the Middle East, the whole deck of baddies. More important than a billion dollar company is his love for his ex. Can they make it, not only out of a really bad situation but their anger at the issues that drove them apart?? Read it you won't be disappointed
