Publisher Description
From #1 bestselling author Lora Leigh comes Wicked Lies, a sizzling novel of the Men of Summer-their ways and means, and the women they desire...
HE'S TEMPTING FATE
Jazz Lancing is the stuff of legends. A mountain-bred ex-Navy SEAL with rugged dark looks, a tall muscled frame, and gorgeous blue eyes, he can have any woman he wants in the state of Tennessee. Except Annie Mayes. The beautiful, innocent teacher refuses to fall for Jazz because she's hiding a secret more powerful than her own temptation ...
SHE'S IN TOO DEEP
Jazz knows that Annie isn't who she says she is-that she's lying about her identity, her past, and her motives. But can she be trusted? Little does he know Annie has been craving his kiss for years, dreaming that Jazz would take her in his arms and save her from her demons. But telling Jazz the truth could put both of them in peril. In this deadly game of danger, deceit, and darkness, is desire worth the risk of losing...everything?

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
This pallid sequel to Loving Lies reads like a poor imitation of a Leigh novel: the characters' emotions are always on high, their lust never waivers, and the supposedly brave heroine still needs a strong hero to save her. Kenni Maddox went into hiding at age 16 after her mother's murder and a failed attempt on Kenni's life. Wanting to protect those she loved, but unsure whether they were trustworthy or part of the plot, she remained on the run for years before returning to Loudon, Tenn., disguised as Annie Mayes. Kenni disappeared without knowing that 23-year-old Jazz Lancing loved her. His intense attraction to Annie baffles him, and he wonders what she's hiding. Once the dominant, sexually aggressive Lancing discovers her true identity, he vows to protect her, and to keep her. Their sex-fueled romance and efforts to unmask Kenni's mother's killers are made even more melodramatic by her decision to remain in hiding for so long.
