Scarlett
I don't want to lie to him. I really don't.

First of all, he's hot. Really hot. I know I swore off gorgeous men for the rest of eternity, but Tenn Sawyer has me questioning all of my choices. At least, any choices that mean I can't have him.

Second, he isn't just hot, Tenn is bossy and domineering and patient and his smile makes my panties melt. And that was all before he kidnapped me.

After... I have no reason to trust him. There's too much at risk to follow my gut. One mistake and I'll lose everything.

But with Tenn, I can't seem to help myself.

Tenn
I knew she was trouble the second I lay eyes on her. Okay, it took me two minutes to figure it out. At first all I saw was a gorgeous woman I needed to get to know. Preferably naked.

Five minutes later, everything changed. Scarlett isn't just a woman I want, suddenly she's my lifeline, the only thing keeping me from a murder charge. And if that isn't complicated enough, every other word out of her mouth is a lie.

She needs my help. She won't trust me enough to ask. Every moment we're together binds us until I can't imagine not having her, even with all of her lies between us.

When she finally comes clean, and I understand what's at stake, I'm not worried about going to jail. I'm too busy trying to keep us alive.

Scheming Heart is a standalone romance with a happy ending. It's third in The Hearts of Sawyers Bend series, featuring the Sawyer family of Sawyers Bend.
