    About this ebook

    Tahnee Madison was not living a perfect life. She had a good life, but it was far from perfect. She was not skinny, had just turned thirty and had lost her fiancée to her own sister. Nope, life was far from perfect.

    Sitting on the bus, Jake Hutton just about fell over. A woman passed him that made his mouth go dry and his hands begin to sweat. She was a delicious package dipped in cocoa and covered by clothing that made him itch to get beneath it. Luck was on his side as he found his way into his mysterious woman's coffee shop. He overheard her describing her upcoming weekend to a co-worker. The second she asked her friend for a handsome man, to borrow for the weekend, Jake knew what he had to do.

    Deciding to take a risk on a little white lie, he showed up that very evening and staked his claim on Tahnee. She agrees to go with the charade this handsome Caucasian offers but what neither of them know, is that during this lie they are each falling in love with one another.

    Is it possible to find happy ever after when it is based on a lie? Even when it is just A Little White Lie…

      BLURB FOR A LITTLE WHITE LIE

      Tahnee Madison was not living a perfect life. She had a good life, but it was far from perfect. She was not skinny, had just turned thirty and had lost her fiancée to her own sister. Nope, life was far from perfect.

      Sitting on the bus, Jake Hutton just about fell over. A woman passed him that made his mouth go dry and his hands begin to sweat. She was a delicious package dipped in cocoa and covered by clothing that made him itch to get beneath it.

      Luck was on his side as he found his way into his mysterious woman’s coffee shop. He overheard her describing her upcoming weekend to a co-worker. The second she asked her friend for a handsome man, to borrow for the weekend, Jake knew what he had to do.

      Deciding to take a risk on a little white lie, he showed up that very evening and staked his claim on Tahnee. She agrees to go with the charade this handsome Caucasian offers but what neither of them know, is that during this lie they are each falling in love with one another.

      Is it possible to find happy ever after when it is based on a lie? Even when it is just A Little White Lie…

      This book is dedicated to all the angels who helped me. You know who you are. And of course, the real-life Jake. You are just amazing.

      CHAPTER 1

      I have a date, thank you very much! she screeched into the phone. I don’t need, nor want your damn sympathy.

      Tahnee Madison sank down onto a stool at her breakfast bar and readjusted the phone against her ear. Heart thundering in her chest, she tried to calm down. It wasn’t healthy to get this worked up especially this early in the day.

      She took in the morning sight of Elliot Bay. Unfortunately, this time it didn’t relax her or put her at ease, for on the other end of the phone conversation was her sister.

      Her conniving, manipulative, sneaky bitch of a sister. Topaz Angel Madison. A sister who had taken her fiancé away from her. And was now lording it over her that the two of them had since gotten engaged and would be together at the wedding of their only brother. Not that she gave a damn, but seriously, how shitty was that?

      Okay, so I can’t just put the blame on her. Javon went so it’s not like she had to get him at gunpoint.

      I just don’t want you to feel awkward around Javon. Topaz paused before adding in a spiteful tone, Especially since we both know you don’t have a date.

      Tahnee narrowed her eyes as she picked up a knife and pretended to stab her sister. I don’t give a damn about him. Who says I don’t have a date? I just told you I did. Her tone remained semi-modulated and for that
