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…

He stood in the doorway dressed in a dark charcoal gray suit with green accents. Green that only enhanced the intensity of his eyes as they found and held her gaze. He stepped through, allowing the door to close behind him and strode with unwavering purpose directly toward Tahnee.

Only when he got inches from her, did he slow. One arm reached for her and tugged her close into his broad chest. His free hand cupped her soft face and held it in place as his mouth lowered to land upon hers.

Dear Lord, this man can kiss. Tahnee felt her knees buckle at the pressure of his lips on hers. It was like she was a fine wine and he was all into the art of wine-tasting. His tongue traced her full lips before descending into the warmth of her mouth.

With a mind of their own, her hands entangled themselves in the lapels of his suit coat and pressed her body closer to his hard one. Her eyes drifted closed as moisture swept through her like a raging river. The wetness he created in her made Javon’s seem like the Kalahari Desert.

Her nipples were taut and crying out for his touch. She wanted to remove his clothes and see if his chest was as hard as it felt. Oh my God, it was heaven being in this embrace.

Slowly he drew back from her luscious mouth and sent her a bone-melting grin. “Sorry, I’m late baby,” he said in a deep seductive voice. “I didn’t think work would run that long.”

Reviews of  A Little White Lie

Brenda at The Romance Studio gives Five Hearts and says: “Ms. Aliyah Burke has written a fast-paced, quirky story which, even though a little hard to believe, shows that dreams can come true. Her characters are loveable and believable; she presented people from opposite ends of the spectrum—those who are loving and available as well as those who only feel validated if tearing down someone else’s character. I could totally relate to this story and read it in one sitting. It was great and, even though the main couple was from different races, it worked! I highly recommend this and commend the author for her remarkable book. ”

Racine at Ecataromance gives Four Stars and says: “A Little White Lie is a great short spicy story. I loved the characters, especially Jake who treated Tahnee like a queen. I look forward to more books from Aliyah Burke.”
