Love Plus One by Andrea Smith

A year ago 19-year-old Lindsey Dennison’s life took an abrupt turn. While away at Cornell for her freshman year at college, her parents’ marriage imploded. Lindsey learned the harsh truth about her father, and his involvement in criminal activity. He’d slipped out of the country with his lover on the eve of his arrest, deserting his only child. Lindsey was left trying to pick up the pieces of the life she now realized had been a house of secrets and lies for all of those years.

After her mother’s second marriage relocates her from Indianapolis to Washington, D.C., Lindsey decides to start fresh at a new college closer to where her mother, step-father and baby brother Bryce are now living. Life is different now for Lindsey, but it’s about to change even more. Trace “Taz” Matthews, an FBI agent is about to rock her world in more ways than one. Taz is a confirmed man-whore but Lindsey has a problem she’s certain he can fix . . . but will he?

Despite their best efforts, Lindsey and Taz are tossed together by fate on more than one occasion, and this G-Man doesn’t appreciate the distraction. Issues at home with her mother suddenly cause Lindsey’s life to become increasingly complicated. There’s a budding romance on the horizon for Lindsey with a wealthy and attractive guy she meets at school; but things are never quite as they seem. Lindsey will learn a brutal lesson about trust, compassion and strength. Taz will learn lessons about love, intimacy and honor, and that sometimes doing the right thing has consequences.
