Tell
Me Lies
Camden
Point Mystery Book 1
by
Gail Chianese
Genre:
Paranormal Romantic Mystery
You'd
think with a guardian who's a ghost, she'd see everything coming. But
nope, that's not how it works. That's not how any of this
works.
Private
investigator Lexie Smith has a mostly perfect--okay, satisfying life.
A successful, if not super lucrative business with her best friend. A
wonderful, loving companion named Bear--sure, he's a little furry and
he drools, but nobody's perfect. A house on the beach and a
wisecracking supernatural "intern" named Vinnie, who knows
everything there is to know about crime and her nonexistent love
life. Things are good, even if the cases are somewhat tame, until a
dangerous assignment forces her to turn to the last man she can
trust: Rafe Barandas, local police detective and the man who broke
her heart years before.
After
a decade in New York, Rafe has returned to his small hometown, burned
out on big-city politics and crime. He's looking forward to the quiet
life, until he's thrown together with Lexie (and, unknown to him, her
phantom familiar) to solve what starts out as a simple B&E but
quickly escalates. Leaving Lexie the first time was a huge mistake.
Now that he's got another chance, he's determined not to blow it, so
long as the job doesn't get in the way.
As
Lexie and Rafe get closer to solving one case, old hurts come back to
haunt them and a new threat emerges. Can they put past lies and
mistrust behind them long enough to thwart a cunning foe who seems to
know every step they take and will stop at nothing, even murder? Or
will one of them pay the ultimate price before they take their second
shot at love?
"Gail
Chianese explodes onto the paranormal romantic mystery scene with a
slow-burn, second-chance romance that readers of the genre are sure
to love!"
--Elicia
Hyder, bestselling author of The
Soul Summoner series
"In Tell
Me Lies,
the characters are fresh, the plot is complex, and the readers will
definitely savor the piquantly sweet sex scenes. But it's the
side-splittingly hilarious banter that is the frothy icing on this
multi-layered whodunit." --Josie Brown, author The
Housewife Assassin's Handbook series

when she can take her next trip. Where will it be? Only time will
