Linea Hills is an attractive, confident, full-figured woman in full control of her heart and her life—until she falls into lust with her best friend’s husband. Then her life is turned upside down as she feels betrayed by love that hits her at the wrong time and with the wrong man. Her precarious situation worsens when her friend tries to draw her into the martial games she and her husband play.
Grant West is an eligible bachelor with a job that keeps him on the road and a charm that ensures he has his choice of companionship from a succession of women—none of whom can expect a commitment from him.

Linea Hills never believes in love at first sight. While visiting her best friend Jen for two weeks, her perspective changes the minute she saw Jen’s gorgeous blue-eye husband Jarrod. Lusting for her best friend’s husband was a big no-no. That was before she meets Jarrod’s younger and sexier cousin, Grant West.
Grant is the perfect man for Linea. He’s confident, sexy, caring and dominate. But when it comes to this particular woman, he puts every effort into satisfying her needs first. The sex scenes include an emotional connection between the characters.
Betrayed by Love is an engaging plot that was well-written in first POV. Marilyn Lee created an exciting book that took me on a roller coaster of emotions as Linea and Grant work out their attraction. I didn’t want to get off the ride when I got to the end. Readers looking for hot romance and mind-blowing sex will definitely get a fun kick out of this book. It’s well-worth the read!
