WHITE LIES
By Jayne Ann Krentz
SETTING: Stone Canyon, Arizona. 21st. Century
Think you can’t get a decent date? Imagine how depressing things are when you know for sure that the guy is lying when he says he’ll call…
Clare Lancaster is a Level Ten para-sensitive – and a “human lie detector”. She is also a member of the modern day Arcane Society. Over the years she has come to accept that someone with her extraordinary talent is doomed to have relationship issues.
Clare has even been rejected as “unmatchable” by the Society’s matchmaking agency, arcanematch.com
In a way, Clare’s whole life has been a lie. Now, however, she has just met the half sister and family whom she never knew until seven months ago. Her father summons her from California to play a role in his business empire. Clare rejects the offer. But after meeting Jake Salter, Archer Lancaster’s “financial consultant”, she is convinced that things aren’t what they seem. Salter’s careful conversation seems to walk a delicate line between truth and deception. Something sparks and sizzles between them – something more than the usual electricity between a man and a woman.
Jake Salter is also a Level Ten para-sensitive with some dangerous psychic talents of his own. He, too, has been declared “unmatchable” by the Society’s matchmakers.
Each knows that the other is keeping secrets.
Caught in a dizzying storm of lies and half-truths, Jake and Clare plunge into an investigation that demands every bit of their special gifts. Together they must overcome their mutual distrust in order to unravel a web of conspiracy and murder with tentacles that go deep into the very heart of the Arcane Society.
