LIES LIKE DIAMONDS

In the wake of a string of deaths, a woman suspects her new husband may be covering up something far worse than infidelity. Lies Like Diamonds is a psychological suspense novella that explores the unspoken ties of marriage and the limits of betrayal.

​

I won’t let the news story about a dead woman ruin my wedding day. It took a lot to get to this point, but Reece is the only one who knows the darkness of my childhood. I feel safe with him.

​

His father, the Banks Madsen, is a different story, though. The accidental deaths of two paralegals from his firm are hard to ignore. When I see a photo of Reece with the dead woman at a recent fundraiser, I have to wonder just how connected it all is. Banks has a lot of pull in local politics, and he wants Reece to continue the family legacy, so I wouldn’t put anything past him.

​

But as I dig around in the murders, I uncover disturbing truths that force me to confront my own secrets. Did I just marry into a family of killers?
