Spotlight and Giveaway: The Lies We Trade

We are pleased to feature Kristine Delano's debut novel, The Lies We Trade. The story sounds intriguing and suspenseful and we are here for it. Thanks to Kaye Publicity, we have one copy to share with a lucky reader!

Meredith Hansel should be having the best week of her life. After establishing herself as a portfolio manager at a prestigious Wall Street firm, she’s in the national spotlight for the innovative funds she created. But as Meredith prepares to celebrate, the plates she’s kept spinning for years begin to crash: Her strained marriage reaches a breaking point. Her conscientious teenage daughter acts out under mysterious pressures. Someone vandalizes her home with disturbing graffiti. And Betsey, her most trusted ally at the financial firm, goes rogue, and Meredith is forced to sign a restraining order against her.

Then her worlds collide when she receives a thumb drive and a cryptic note from Betsey threatening to reveal a secret that could have devastating effects on Meredith’s family . . . unless she can figure out what Betsey wants and deliver it in time.

As Meredith begins to dig into the data, however, she begins to suspect that it’s no coincidence her life is crumbling. That maybe what’s happening to her family is connected to what’s boiling beneath the surface at her investment company. Soon Meredith realizes there’s only one way to avoid taking the fall, and it all hinges on Betsey’s true motives. Was she really threatening Meredith or trying to warn her? (Synopsis courtesy of Amazon.)

"Tense and gripping, The Lies We Trade is a clever story. . . . Delano has created a thought-provoking and intricately plotted suspense."
- Samantha M. Bailey, USA Today and #1 international bestselling author of Hello, Juliet

"Delano strikes a wonderful tone with her strong but flawed protagonist Meredith Hansel, making us root for her as her world crashes down. An impressive and timely debut."

- Carter Wilson, USA Today and Publishers Weekly bestselling author of Tell Me What You Did
