Tessa is confronted with family loyalty and torn between her husband and her grandmother. Will she make the good choice?

He will marry Tessa but only for six months, before each of them gets hurt. He knows the hate between their grandmothers could be very destructive and wants to spare Tessa.

LIES OF THE HEART from Laurie LeClair is more a romantic book that a sensual book but this was an enjoyable read. This is the story between two families who hate each other but neither the hero nor heroine knows why. The truth is known only at the end of the book.
