Book Description

What happens when you tell a little white lie? Will it blossom into something bigger or will the result ruin any chance they have at true love?

Tahnee Madison was not living a perfect life. While she has a good life, it is far from perfect. She was not skinny, had just turned thirty, even lost her fiancé to her own sister. Nope, life was far from perfect.

Sitting on the bus, Jake Hutton just about fell over. A woman passed that made his mouth go dry while his hands begin to sweat. She was a delicious package dipped in cocoa, 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 to stake his claim on Tahnee. She agrees to go along with the charade this handsome Caucasian offers. What neither of them knows is that during this lie they are each falling in love with one another.

Is it possible to find happily ever after when it is based on a lie? Even when it is just A Little White Lie…

Reviews

  • “Ms. Aliyah Burke has written a fast-paced, quirky story which... shows that dreams can come true. Her characters are loveable and believable... 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.”

  • “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.”
Racine gives it 4 Stars ~ Ecataromance Sensual
  • "I loved A Little White Lie because it identified with the little people. Whether it’s catching the bus, sibling rivalry to weight conscious issues, these are every day things normal people struggle with and I totally identified with the story. It was like drinking a cold beer on a hot day, it does not satiate you, but leaves you wanting more. I still wanted more but alas, it came to an end."
