    But her new boss has an agenda -- Lana was married to his half-brother, and he blames her for Charlie's death. Lana's instinct to grab her son and flee is strong, but Jarrod is a different man than Charlie was, and while she is wary of him, she slowly accepts that she is in no danger. At least no physical danger – her heart is another matter entirely.As his feelings for his brother’s wife start to grow, Jarrod begins to wonder how badly he has misjudged her. And Lana soon realizes that she is facing an even more formidable enemy than her husband, for Jarrod has no intention of letting her go!Excerpt from Marrying the Enemy: “Is something wrong, Mr. Marshall?” she asked quietly after she had shut the door and moved into the room. She really hoped that he wasn't about to fire her. She liked this job, and she honestly didn't think she had done anything wrong, but he seemed angry. No, more than angry. He was seething with rage. She took a deep breath and looked at him directly. Heavens, but this man was powerful, she thought. And the attraction she felt for him was still there, as strong as ever. The rage was less of a draw, she thought with a flash of humor. Still she had seen rage before, and while it terrified her on a personal front, this was professional, and she was not about to run from whatever confrontation he had planned. Jarrod leaned back against his desk, crossing his arms in front of him and looking down at her, watching the emotions stream across her face. “You don’t know who I am, do you?” he asked softly at last, his cold green eyes holding her gaze. “I’m not sure what you mean, Mr. Marshall,” Lana answered after a brief hesitation. “I know that you’re the owner and CEO of the company. But...” She stopped speaking when he pushed himself off the desk, and took a step toward her. “You’re leaving something important out.” She shook her head. “I’m sorry, but I don’t know what you’re talking about.” “I’m talking about Charlie,” Jarrod said, playing his trump card, and watching as she visibly paled. “Charlie?” she whispered. “How did you know about him?” “Charlie was my brother,” he responded. “What? But...” The expressions on Lana’s face were easy to read. Shock appeared first, followed by disbelief, followed by an honest, deep-rooted fear. Finally, she managed to choke out, “Was?” “Yes. Was. He was killed in an automobile crash in England three years ago, shortly after you left him.” The wave of relief that seemed to roll over her face appalled him. The mere thought that she could be pleased that his brother was dead caused something to snap in him, and he reached out then and grasped her by her upper arms. Immediately, the fear was back on her face, and he watched in amazement as she simply went still. She watched him carefully, warily, retreating quietly as she tried to figure out how much danger she was in here. Nothing was making sense, and while she knew that there was a relatively safe world milling around outside of Jarrod's office, she felt none of the comfort that a building of people should have provided her. But Jarrod wasn't done. “You really are a heartless witch, aren’t you? Charlie was right – it’s all about the money to you.
