There's an old saying: The first lie wins...
At a party with her fiancé Ryan Sumner, Evie Porter is not looking for trouble. But trouble has found her.
A woman approaches. She's using her name. And Evie knows it's a warning.
Because Evie Porter is not her real name. It's her job.
Ryan Sumner is not her future husband. He's her target.
And this woman showing up now can only mean one thing. Her employer is watching. One mistake and she's dead.
To save herself, and escape her employer for good, Evie must set the last perfect trap. Which means using herself as bait...

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Evie Porter is not who she seems. Over the course of First Lie Wins, we spend plenty of time finding out how she operates as a master con artist, taking on a range of aliases and assignments for her mysterious boss. This time, she’s been tasked with getting close to businessman and heartthrob Ryan Sumner. Complications of the heart are author Ashley Elston’s path to exploring themes of identity, deception and survival in this Southern Gothic psychological thriller. You can expect twists and turns galore, led by a heroine who isn’t all that heroic. This is Elston’s adult fiction debut, and she brings her YA thriller toolbox to craft a masterfully fast-paced tale. Narrator Saskia Maarleveld brings sleek tension and sharp character nuance to this cat-and-mouse thriller.
