The Liar

In a "sexy, suspenseful read," #1 New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts delivers "a slow-burning fuse of a plot that ultimately explodes in a nail-biting conclusion."* Shelby Foxworth lost her husband. Then she lost her illusions... The man who took her from Tennessee to an exclusive Philadelphia suburb left her in crippling debt. He was an adulterer and a liar, and when Shelby tracks down his safe-deposit box, she finds multiple IDs. The man she loved wasn't just dead. He never really existed. Shelby takes her three-year-old daughter and heads south to seek comfort in her hometown, where she meets someone new: Griff Lott, a successful contractor. But her husband had secrets she has yet to discover. Even in this small town, surrounded by loved ones, danger is closer than she knows-and threatens Griff, as well. And an attempted murder is only the beginning... *Booklist (starred review)

Adrian Healey is magnificently unprepared for the long littleness of life; unprepared too for the afternoon in Salzburg when he will witness the savage murder of a Hungarian violinist; unprepared to learn about the Mendax device; unprepared for more murders and wholly unprepared for the truth. Stephen Fry's breathtakingly outrageous debut novel, by turns eccentric, shocking, brilliantly comic and achingly romantic. 'Hilarious' Literary Review 'Sublime' Cosmopolitan

I thought he was my happily ever after, but everything between us has been a lie. When I discover my husband married me under false pretenses, I want nothing more to do with him. I don't care if he claims to love me. He broke my trust. Unfortunately, divorcing him could jeopardize a massive sting operation. Apparently, the charming liar isn't a bartender-he's an undercover federal agent who married me to gain access to my colleagues. He's investigating a network of dirty cops, and if I blow his cover, all of the progress he's made will be lost. The fastest way to get rid of him is to help him finish his case, but doing so plunges me headfirst into danger. The trouble is, I'm not sure which I'm most worried about: the risk to my life, or to my heart.
