Linda Howard / Linda Howard / The Cutting Edge The head of the company's security service, Brett Rutland, receives orders to investigate an embezzlement case. The suspects are the entire accounting department, and in particular, the modest and pretty Tessa Conway. Brett pretends to be in love with Tessa, hoping to frame her for the crime. Tessa is surprised by the sudden attention of such a handsome man, and shocked by her own feelings in return. However, she has already been burned in a previous relationship with a man, and now she is not as gullible as before. As the passion between Tessa and Brett grows, the line between reality and lies blurs, and Brett is now torn between his belief in Tessa's guilt and his desire to protect her. Can Brett do his job and save Tessa at the same time? Will Tessa be able to trust Brett, whom she suspects of insincerity?
