I did it. I admit it.
I fell in
love with Silas. My bodyguard. My protector.
My new
informant.
We’re
playing a cat-and-mouse game. I’m not sure whether I’m the cat or the mouse,
but I can definitely tell I’m in a trap.
A trap with
no way out.
I’m not who
everyone thought I was. The truth is out there, finally turning the lie about
me inside out. I am the shameless little lie. It’s finally been revealed, and
now even more people want to kill me.
As a
presidential campaign hangs in the balance, a delicate web of international
relations and economic stability at risk, power becomes more important than
anything else.
Even my
life.
Especially
my life. I’m a nothing. A no one. Just a tool, remember?
But tools
can be used to open locks. Cracking open the truth and exposing it could change
the balance of power. Tip the scales. Make a presidential campaign turn on a
dime.
Too bad
Silas doesn’t believe me when I tell the truth.
And that
may make him the biggest tool of all.

Excerpt
My ear is
stroking something so soft and smooth. It’s comforting and inviting, so I rub
against the softness, reveling in sensation, sighing.
And then
the something moves.
“Hey,”
Silas says, his voice coming from above. “She’s awake.”
I open my
eyes, then shut them quickly to make the spinning stop. The world is full of
random objects that move in and out, forward and back, my depth perception put
in a blender and puréed.
“What?” I
whisper, his hand on my shoulder. I want him to stroke my hair, to bring me
ginger ale, to keep me safe and let me relax.
“You
fainted,” he says, voice somehow both taut with worry and gentle with concern.
“Right into my arms.”
“You have
good arms.”
“I like
them.”
“So do I.”
I roll in
his lap and look up into those bright eyes full of mirth and worry. “Can you
sit up?” he asks.
“No.”
“That bad?”
“It feels
so nice here. I could sleep here forever.”
Someone
clears their throat in the distance. It’s a masculine sound.
“She okay?”
the throat-clearer asks from another continent away. Or maybe the front seat.
It’s hard to tell.
“I think
so,” Silas responds, easing me up slowly.
“I did not
consent to sitting up,” I murmur, snuggling in.
“And I
didn’t consent to being your pillow.”
“But you’re
a good pillow. The best pillow ever.”
“Jane?”
Silas asks slowly. “Are you on something?”
“On
something? I’m on you.” My muscles go slack, body in need of this all-too-short
moment to enjoy being at rest in a place of sanctuary.
Rumbling makes
my head move lightly as he–is he laughing? “No. I mean, did you take a drug, or
a pill? You’re acting very weird.”
“Have we
met? Come on. You try going through what I’ve been through these last few days,
then faint, and come out of it perfectly sane,” I grouse.
As I come
to a full upright position with my back against the upholstered seat, I realize
it’s not just me, Silas, and–oh. The throat-clearer is Duff.
Drew is
behind him, their heads huddled together as they speak through the window.
“I’m fine,”
I lie. “Just tired and a little weary from having my entire life blitzed to
smithereens.”

A Shameless Little Lie is a continuation of Jane and Silas’ story and A Shameless Little Con does need to be read first.
What a rollercoaster ride this series is turning into! Picking up where the last book finished everything in Janes life seems to have been a lie...and it’s only going to get worse. This book is jam packed with mystery, betrayal, secrets and lies.
My heart broke for Jane in this instalment. Seriously the poor woman can’t seem to catch a break. With things going from bad to worse Jane has no idea what’s true or even who she can trust. Feeling completely alone, been fed lie after lie, been set up repeatedly, there’s only so much she can take before she takes things into her own hands.
With plenty of mystery, action and sexy times, I loved this book. I couldn’t put it down and definitely recommend the Shameless series. I can’t wait for the final book.
