Lying

Faking a marriage in uptight suburbia? Easy. Lying to my fake husband about wanting him for real? Frustrating. Failing to convince him? Infuriating. August has an unusual job. She lies for a living. Her latest private security job while home from college? Play house with her best friend, Spencer, and infiltrate a picket fence HOA neighborhood to protect an innocent woman from her violent ex. Guns, knives, fighting and lies? Just another day at the office. Until Spencer drops a bomb on August. Friendship isn't enough for him anymore. He wants more. He wants her. She denies feeling the same way, but he's not falling for her lies anymore, and fighting for each other soon turns into fighting against each other. How hard could it be to play happy housewife for her neighbors while fighting with her fake husband behind strained smiles and impulsive lies? How hard could it really be to con Spencer, too? Much harder than she thought. ***Lying does have a cliffhanger ending. The direct sequel, Confessing, is out now.*** Note: You do NOT have to read Fighting (Book 1) first. Reader discretion is advised for graphic violence, explicit language and sexual content. Maybe don't read this one with your grandma.
