Lovely Little Liar

Charlie gives the cop who pulls her over for speeding and reckless driving the performance of a lifetime, telling him that her mother is in the hospital on the edge of death.

Trooper Vin Loveanu wants nothing more than to pull her out of the vehicle and comfort her, but has to settle for sending flowers to the hospital, only to find out that the mother is not a patient. Further investigation turns up an obituary for Charlene's mother from four years before!

Charlie's lies, abominable driving and strong family ties continue to bring the two together. She can't run away far enough or fast enough and maybe - just maybe she should be running to Vin - not away, even if it meant over his knee - the same way her brother Alex dealt with her. And she'd been trying to tell Alex she was too old for spanking for years.
