Circumstantial Marriage — Kerry Connor

When someone wanted her dead, Audrey Ellison had nowhere else to turn but to reporter-turned-recluse Jason Stone. Only her uncle's onetime protege could discover what got him killed and why an assassin was hot on her heels. But Audrey wasn't prepared for the darkly handsome, deeply tormented man who was to become her hero...and her husband.

Posing as newlyweds was the best way to investigate the small Virginia town teeming with secrets and scandals. But even the best plans had pitfalls. Audrey's feelings for her sexy pretend husband became all too real...and as dangerous as the killers closing in on them.
