Strange Deception — Alicia Engelhardt

That summer Kelcy Kendal's life was troubled by one strange deception after another. First, she learned James Miles, her benign boss, was a big-time embezzler. Then, while looking for a new job, she met charming Glen Westbrook, who gave her a lift in a car he'd temporarily stolen from his autocratic cousin Hawk. After some unexpected complications, Kelcy found herself working as secretary to demanding, heartless Hawk Westbrook and covering up Glen's misdemeanor.

But the strangest deception of all came from Kelcy's own confused feelings. Because she found she could hate Hawk Westbrook intensely yet still respond warmly to his kisses.
