Innocent look pasted on face, reply ready. Two Truths and a Lie on Book Hooks #MFRWhooks #MFRWAuthor #hotread #boxset

Book Hooks is a weekly meme hosted by Marketing for Romance Writers as part of the MFRW Authors Blog. It's a chance each week for you the reader to discover current WIP or previously published book by possibly new to you authors.

Today, I am showcasing a snippet from my hot billionaire romance – Two Truths and a Lie from the just released Lawbreakers box set. Our heroine just stole a rare red diamond. The owner of the diamond has just confronted her and demanded to know where it was.

Innocent look pasted on face, reply ready. "What diamond?" Brilliantly played.

"The safe was closed when I left my office. You did this. You had no right to be in there." He jerked his cell phone from an inside pocket. "I am calling the police."

He played right into my plan. I reacted like an overly dramatic, silent movie star. I raised my hands in horror, which tossed the whiskey down the front of Lord Pompous Idiot. I dropped the tray. It couldn't make a dramatic crash as the hallway was carpeted. Darn. Then I edged myself back against the wall and cowered like a frightened animal.

The next few minutes were hysterical chaos as both men snapped questions at me. I dug deep and pulled up some tears and let them stream down my cheeks as I repeatedly mumbled, "I didn't do anything. I didn't take anything."

But there was a fabulous Hallmark flash. A man stepped into the hallway, curiosity etched on his face. It was him – Lover Boy. He was tall, dark-haired, and scruffy or unshaven if you prefer. His tuxedo fit him like a second skin. There was no rotundness like Lord Idiot or knock off anything like Mr. Chapman. The man was pure sophistication. Out of the hundred or so guests, he was the only one who had smiled at me when he requested a drink. That made him human and not an arrogant robotron. And that made him sexy.

But, sadly, he turned and I shifted my focus back to the howling banshees who still snapped questions at me.
