WICKED LIES is the long awaited second book in A Men of Summer series, which can be read as a standalone novel. It's been so long since I read the first book (LOVING LIES) that I think I will go back and read it again just to get reacquainted with some of the characters. WICKED LIES deals with secrets, danger, deceit, grief and desire. This lie has lasted ten years and when the truth is finally revealed there will be repercussions. Lora Leigh knows how to spin a story and fill it with sizzling scenes.

Ex-Navy SEAL Jazz Lancing can have any woman he wants except school teacher Annie Mayes. Jazz is used to women falling for him but Annie refuses to because she can't risk Jazz discovering her secret. Jazz knows that Annie is not who she says she is and that she's hiding something. The heat between Jazz and Annie sizzles. Once he discovers her secret, he's floored. He vows to help her get the answers she has been trying to discover for ten years. Annie is reluctant to accept help from him and others because of the danger involved. She has already lost two people she loved -- she can't lose anyone else. Because she has lived with these threats for ten years, Annie is not sure who she can trust. There are life threatening consequences when her real identity is revealed and a heart-breaking revelation when the person behind all the threats and murders is revealed.

This is a story about learning to accept help and trust others when you've had to rely on yourself for so many years to stay alive. A WICKED LIE is finally revealed. The pain from grieving is finally beginning to heal. The power of love is discovered.
