Inevitable Lies

by L.S. Bergman

Detective Luis Richter longs to go places, and become ‘somebody’. But lately he’s being doing not much of either. Between meaningless misdemeanors and boring office gossip, his hometown of Munich is hardly the hub of criminal activity. Until, Luis’s humdrum life is turned upside-down when an international case involving big money and deadly intent lands in his lap, the main victim in all this a wealthy heiress by the name of Joy Evans.

In taking over the reins of her late father’s extensive business interests, Joy Evans never expected to wind-up a witness to a murder. As the investigation stakes are raised, and the implications of the case fall-out become apparent, Joy is forced into a witness protection program to ensure her safety.

Moved from one holed up destination to another, and taking on an assumed name, Joy is thrust under the protection of the handsome Detective Luis Richter. Having got off to a less than favorable start, Joy soon realizes that Luis is all she’s got.

But Luis holds a secret. For Luis, Joy is not only an unexpected re-awakening of the past. She's almost more than he can handle in the present. Beautiful, feisty and vulnerable, in dire need of love, what happens between them becomes entangled in Luis's mind. When his biggest test of adversity looks increasingly like a gift of destiny?

Their chemistry is off-the-scale, their mutual attraction uncontrollable. The only question is, will love be enough?

Inevitable Lies is a gripping suspense-filled adult IR romantic drama, spanning Europe to the Caribbean islands.

This author is worth reading ,this book is more about two people who meet, are instantly attracted and are afraid to admit it at first. But something's can't be denied. Then there's the whole thing that someone is trying to kill Joy and Luis is her protector , sparks fly ! So you get a love story and a mystery , my two favorite things . This books starts out kind of slow , because the characters over think and don't act , but once things start happening , things get interesting .

Inevitable Truths

The Joy and Luis story started out with an interestingly crafted meeting scene that revved my desire to read on. Luis was tasked with keeping Joy safe after she witnessed her father's assistant's murder. Joy was a mixed race beauty whom Luis never failed to mention how her flawless features mesmerized him. Once they were safely tucked away on one of the Caribbean islands, the relationship grew and soon began to flourish. But in all suspenseful novels, drama ensues and sure enough, the hero, and the heroine were confronted with scary moments and the man chasing Joy. The man whom greed had shrouded his ethics would find defeat.. In the end, the truth was revealed. Thankfully, Joy and Luis were alive and well. A good read...

Very good

Suspense, intrigue with a heavy dose of romance mixed in, can't go wrong. Joy and Luis were destined to be together.
