You'd think with a guardian who's a ghost, she'd see everything coming. But nope, that's not how it works.
Private investigator Lexie Smith almost has it all. A successful business with her best friend. A wonderful, loving companion—sure, he's a little furry, and he drools, but nobody's perfect. Even a house on the beach, complete with a wisecracking, street-smart, supernatural "intern," who knows everything there is to know about crime and her nonexistent love life.
Things are good 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 to solve what starts out as a simple B&E.
Rafe made a mistake the first time, leaving Lexie. Now he's determined not to blow this new chance. But thwarting a cunning foe is one thing. Putting the past and lies behind is another.
If you like slow-burn romances with sassy heroines and strong heroes getting a second chance at love, set in a small town, then TELL ME LIES is your jam.
"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
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 between Lexie and her best friend and agency partner, Kat Jones, that is the frothy icing on this multi-layered whodunit." —Josie Brown, author, The Housewife Assassin's Handbook series
