The Law of Deceit (Shameful Secrets Book 4) Kindle Edition
He’s a rebellious young man with a lifelong obsession with his mom’s best friend.
He always assumed she’d be nothing more than a fantasy, but he’s not the only one with forbidden feelings…
I’ve loved her for as long as I can remember.
She’s my mom’s best friend and a cop.
Two reasons why I should stay far, far away from Sloane Thurman.
It’s nearly impossible to keep my distance, though.
The ache for her rare smiles and her sweet scent is more than I can bear.
I’m more than her friend’s son.
I want to show her I’m a man now and that I could be her man.
My wish becomes a reality when Sloane takes in her nephew. She needs help and I’m just the man to step up. Hikes, coffee dates, and game nights are just the beginning for us. Entertaining the kid in an effort to get closer to her is no hardship. Being near her is the only reward I need.
As we spend more time together, I manage to break down her rigid walls. When she’s not worried about her morals and being a good cop, she’s realizing the two of us can have a lot of fun.
A good time isn’t all I’m after. If it were up to me, I’d haul her down to the courthouse and make her mine forever. Unfortunately, neither life nor love is that easy. There’s no way my family would understand our relationship. A secret romance will have to do…for now.
We may be able to deceive everyone we care about, but one day our shameful secrets will come to light. For Sloane’s sake, I just hope I’m worth the fight…
***This is a complete M/F standalone novel with a happily ever after. Tropes for this book include: older woman/younger man age-gap romance, opposites attract, he falls first, coffee lovers, mom’s best friend, romantic suspense, secret romance, and found family.***

These two have chemistry from the start. While Dempsey was always open about his feelings to Sloane, she struggled with her changing feelings for him. He proves time and time again to her that they are good together and when she is in danger he is insanely protective of her.
If you’re looking for a forbidden, age gap, slow burn, suspense check this one out.
I was really excited about this forbidden love, reverse age gap business that Dempsey was bringing to the table. Their story is filled with action and excitement, anticipation and emotion and so much more. I am already ready for Gemma's story and cannot wait for it to be shared with the world. 😁
Dempsey and Sloane are so perfect for each other. Their story is so heartfelt and emotional. I was laughing and crying end feeling every single emotion.
Dempsey is perceived as a bad boy. A rebel. He's angry and misunderstood by a lot of people. His twin, Gemma, is the angel. He feels like he can't do anything right. He has been in love with Sloane, his mom's best friend for a while now. No one knows. It's taboo, forbidden, but he can't help how he feels.
Sloane is a cop. She's known Dempsey and his twin sister since they were born. This sudden attraction she feels towards Dempsey isn't welcomed. Sloane knows that she shouldn't cross that line. She doesn't want to jeopardize her relationship with Jamie, Dempsey's mom and also her best friend. Besides, she doesn't care to be the fodder of the small-town gossip. The problem? Dempsey is persistent, caring, and charming. He makes it abundantly clear what he wants. The more time she spends with him and sees the real guy underneath, the more difficult it is to fight their feelings.
There's so much more to Dempsey than meets the eye. There's a talented, good guy beneath his bad boy image. Sloane was strong, protective, and determined. She has family drama that threatens more than just her happiness. Will Dempsey be the one to turn things around? Can Sloane stay away from the temptation that is Dempsey?
This is a slow-burn taboo/forbidden romance that does not disappoint. If you like romances that push boundaries, this is a must-read. It does focus more on the story versus the steam, but I liked getting this aspect of their story. I loved seeing characters from the previous books in this series make appearances. Although Dempsey and Sloane face a lot of obstacles, they get their HEA. This is a standalone within a series.
