When
attorney Madalyn Russell dumps her fiancé at the altar, she
temporarily escapes the scrutiny of her friends and family on her
honeymoon cruise. Too bad she forgot she is assigned to dine at the
“newlywed” table on the fully booked cruise. Goodbye exquisite
cuisine, hello standard buffet fare. Nothing will tempt her to enter
that lion’s den. Or so she thinks.
When
the board of directors orders devilishly handsome Royce Spencer to
seek rest alone on a cruise, he sets his sights on Madalyn and offers
a deliciously indecent proposal to her dining room dilemma. He’ll
pose as her husband in exchange for companionship during the cruise.
Royce is a gifted liar with a great sense of humor that has everyone
at the newlywed table laughing and no one suspecting the truth.Is the
opportunity to enjoy all the ship has to offer worth the little white
lies they'll have to tell? What is it about Royce that makes Madalyn
want to engage in a fling at the age of thirty for the first time in
her life and toss her tightly held beliefs overboard?
The
whirlwind love affair catches them both by surprise. Is it possible
that in the midst of all the little white lies, they will each
discover their soul mate? And when Royce is accused of white-collar
crime with Madalyn as his key witness, will Madalyn finally learn
that life is not always as black and white as it seems?

Little White Lies: Letting Go of
Inhibitions
It is a truth universally acknowledged,
that a woman on vacation, will at one time or another let go of her
inhibitions. [Okay, forgive me, but I had to use that famous opening
line from Jane Austen once in my lifetime.]
I’m a firm believer in that truth and
have many of my own experiences to draw from. Come on…admit
it…you’ve let go of your inhibitions on vacation, too. I know you
have. It’s one of the greatest benefits of going on vacation.
This is exactly what the heroine of my
debut contemporary novel, Little White Lies, does for an entire week
while on her honeymoon cruise – sans fiancé, who she dumped at the
altar. When the sexy man in the stateroom next to hers, Royce
Spencer, offers to stand in as Madalyn Russell’s husband for the
week-long cruise, so that Madalyn can enjoy the dining room
experience at the Newlywed table, she accepts his offer…and all the
benefits that go along with being married to an irresistible man.
Can you imagine one full week of
enjoying yourself to the fullest, not once worrying about what others
will think of you, and making decisions purely on instinct –
without a single thought to consequences? Let me tell you, it’s one
hell of a ride and so much fun to tag along.
I wanted both Madalyn and Royce to jump
in with both feet and have a great time for the entire cruise – no
looking back – no looking forward – just living for today.
Some people might say the situation is
unrealistic or too far-fetched. Guess I’m not one of them, because
if I was alone on a cruise and had the opportunity to spend it with a
hunk, I would sign on the dotted line in a heartbeat. Why not enjoy
myself to the fullest if I spent thousands of dollars to be on
vacation? And even if you wouldn’t do it in real life, but you
secretly want to do it – then go ahead and suspend your belief and
join Madalyn and Royce on a wild roller-coaster ride.
What I love most about this story is
the fact that these two are tangled in a web of Little White Lies
they have to tell in order to keep up their charade, so it becomes
almost impossible to tell what is real and what is not. Their
attraction is sizzling. Their sex hot. And they genuinely have fun
together. But is Royce developing real feelings for Madalyn? Or is he
only making good on his promise on the first day to ‘rock her
world’?
Little White Lies is told 100% from
Madalyn’s perspective, so we don’t really know what’s going on
in Royce’s head, which is exactly how I wanted it. Madalyn is on a
journey of self-discovery. She is learning to let go of her black and
white thinking, how to live a little, and just let go. The events
which unfold after Madalyn and Royce return to their normal daily
lives put her newfound sense of adventure, and willingness to see
things through another lens, to the test.
If you’re looking to escape from life
for a few hours and simply have a great time, then I hope you’ll
join Royce and Madalyn in their whirlwind love affair in Little White
Lies by R.C. Matthews.
