Annie Solomon's latest romantic suspense novel, TELL ME NO LIES, is another success!  Alexandra Jane "AJ" Baker and Detective Hank Bonner clash in this unique tale of lies, betrayal and revenge.  Alexandra has cleverly orchestrated a relationship with several key players in a business deal designed to bring money into Sokanan, a "poor" town south of New York City.  Alexandra has a secret purpose in establishing the business relationship:  she plans to bring down the man who murdered her father years ago.  Alexandra's plans go astray when Detective Bonner's murder investigation leads him to Alexandra.  As Alexandra tries to preserve her plans and gain revenge for the death of her father, she finds herself turning to Detective Bonner more than once for assistance.

Hank Bonner has a little less than a week left as a police officer before he goes into early retirement.  His family has suffered tremendous turmoil over the past year; his sister and brother-in-law are dead, he and his mother are trying to raise the two children left in the aftermath, and an older brother is attempting to pressure Hank's mother into selling the family farm.  Hank is trying to focus on his family, but finds himself unwittingly attracted to AJ and finds the murder investigation pulling him back into the "police game."  Hank assigns himself as AJ's protector when he discovers her plan for revenge, and suddenly a wild mix of KGB and a megalomaniac's passion for money bring the entire plan to a head.

Ms. Solomon's latest novel is another testament to her gift for crafting intelligent, sexy novels.  TELL ME NO LIES will not disappoint Solomon fans!
