SERIES: London Lies #1

AUTHOR: C. F. White

PUBLISHER: Self-Published

LENGTH: 261 pgs. (novel)

RELEASE DATE:  July 27, 2020

BLURB:

Accused of a murder he didn’t commit, vilified celebrity Jackson Young enlists the help of a rookie journalist to clear his name and write his biography.

Jackson has a secret though. One he must keep from becoming public. But Fletcher’s dreamy green eyes, Irish drawl and effortless charm makes it hard to suppress those long-buried feelings, even if it could compromise his innocence.

Uncovering the murky past behind Jackson’s rise to fame, Fletcher grows closer to a man he’d once declared as talentless, and their intense attraction starts to affect not only his professional integrity but the life he’d made since moving to London.

Falling for the subject of his book could be fatal for Fletcher, and Jackson should know better than to trust a journalist.

Fade to Blank is the first book in the London Lies trilogy set in 1999, and is a slow burn, enemies to lovers, hurt/comfort romantic suspense.

All good things come in threes

Malachi
One guy. Is that so much to ask? All I want is a man to love. I’ve been alone for so long.
I thought I’d found him; only he chose someone else.
Then I see them: two beautiful men, lost in each other. It’s a full month before I see them again. They’re so full of themselves. I shouldn’t want them. I hate myself for giving in. At first. Because after that one time, I want more. It was perfect.
If only I didn’t now work for them.

Logan and Corey
We’re happy together, deliriously so. Still, we can’t give each other everything we need. And playing with a third isn’t enough. We want more.
Then we see him: snarky, sexy, and beautifully submissive. He gives us one perfect night, and we know we’ve found our man.
If only we can convince him he’s our missing link.

We knew it wouldn’t be easy, but we also knew it would be worth it.
