Lessons In Deception

Sloane Walker is in a soup. She’s just witnessed the brutal murder of the woman she is a carer for. And what’s worse? The man investigating the homicide happens to be the real version of her fictional boyfriend!

Being a carer for a docile old woman during the day, and fawning over hot book boyfriends in the night, Sloane’s life is uneventful, except for Joshua MacLeod, her very sexy, and very fictional boyfriend. That is until she stumbles over her employer’s murdered corpse. Oh god!

DS Joshua MacLeod wakes up to some brutal news: His mother’s been murdered. The only lead the police have is a witness: his late mother’s carer. Joshua can’t quite believe it. For one, his mother didn’t have a carer. And secondly, his mother is not Caucasian. This is clearly a case of mistaken identity.

Furious at the mix-up and wanting some answers, Joshua stalks over to the crime scene only to find himself flat on his back with a curvaceous pink-haired beauty clutched into his arms, calling him her boyfriend.

And just like that Joshua and Sloane’s lives get complicated.

If Joshua thought he knew everything about his past, he thought wrong. Sloane isn’t lying exactly. The more Joshua tries to prove he had nothing to do with the dead woman, the more questions arise about his parentage.

But there is something about Sloane too. Why was she pretending to date Joshua? Did she have a vendetta against the dead woman? And above all, why did the killer leave Sloane alive?
