By Her Rules
Harvard has no degrees in love or honesty, but such variations abound in real life. What’s the difference between saying I love you-before a one-night-stand and a cosmetic company promising to take ten years off your looks just to sell their product?
William Goldblum’s business is selling seeming truths to make us feel better. Lies made him rich. Melissa Ledouix’s business is making William fall in love with her. Together they tango through the mists of truth and attraction on their way to a relationship until someone poisons Will. Did Melissa do it, his brother, or Sicilian mobsters? Will must solve that puzzle or die.
Whose Rules spins through people entangled in Scam, Shams, and Deceptions We Love. You won’t want to miss this contemporary suspense mystery. It’s filled with people you don’t want to like, but learn to love.
