Temptation and Lies

Temptation and Lies
Donna Hill

As CEO of an event-planning company, sultry siren Nia Turner deftly navigates the corporate boardroom. No one would ever guess she's also an undercover agent for The Ladies Cartel. TLC is a clandestine organization that operates under the guise of selling Tender Loving Care body products–but their true mission is crime-fighting.Living a double life can be stressful, especially when Nia is dating sexy architect Steven Long. As she vigilantly attempts to identify the players in what could be the biggest sex scandal the city has seen in decades, Steven begins to suspect that she is stepping out on him. Nia gets caught in a web of lies and scandal that threatens to tear her relationship apart.

“Hey, baby.” His tone was low and intimate—just for her.

She slid her right hand around the back of his neck and took the last step that separated them. Her body melded with his like putty, molding itself to the hard lines, from the broad expanse of his chest to his muscular thighs.

Mia tilted her head slightly upward and brought her mouth to his.

Steven groaned deep in his throat when the softness of her lips connected with his. He maneuvered her so that her back was against the frame of the archway to the kitchen.

The sweetness of her tongue set off a firestorm in his gut. His erection was electrifying and so suddenly powerful that the world receded and an uncontrolled need took its place.

Her long, slender fingers grazed along his body, stoking the growing fire of desire.

I want to thank my readers who have

continued to support me for the past 18 years!!!!

I love ya.

Dear Reader,

First and foremost I want to thank the incredible readers and book clubs who have made the TLC series so successful. I appreciate each and every one of you and I plan to keep the stories coming.

I do hope you enjoy this latest installment of the TLC series. I’m having a ball “ripping my stories from the headlines” and dumping them in the laps of my characters.

So far you should have met Savannah from Sex and Lies and then Danielle in Seduction and Lies, and now I proudly wish to introduce Mia Turner, who will take center stage. I do believe this story is my favorite. Mia is quirky, sexy, smart and in a hot mess of trouble—trapped between two men, a twisted assignment and confusion of the heart! But of course she will have her girls by her side along with a brand-new friend, Ashley Temple.

Be on the lookout for Scandals and Lies, coming very soon.

In the meantime, sit back, get a cup of something cold and get to reading! LOL. I’d love to hear what you think. Send me a note to writerdoh@aol.com.

Until we meet again, happy reading!

Donna
