Romance Suspense
"The trial had everything an ambitious prosecuting attorney could want: a solid case against a known crimelord and a seductively beautiful witness with a steamy past -- ingredients guaranteed to pack a courtroom." From the 1st line Dangerous Lies turns up the heat. After losing his family in a fire, Jake Stern is raised by grandparents. As he goes from being a traumatized boy to outstanding athlete-scholar and finally to Assistant DA, Jake learns to hide a crippling fear behind a mask. Tina Berenson is a shy bookish girl, rejected by both parents until she turns 13 and her father begins taking her to racetracks, prizefights and nightclubs, reveling in the attention her beauty generates. When he dies, the lonely 15 year old is easy prey for a charismatic crime-lord. Fate brings them together for the trial of a vicious mobster: Tina, the key witness, and Jake, the prosecutor, envious of her courage, repelled by her past and obsessed with her physical presence. But first, he has to keep her alive.
