A sensuous, very contemporary story of public masks and secret lives begins with the delivery of four mysterious, identically wrapped packages in New York, Paris, Venice and London. Two of the recipients, Gini Hunter, reporter, and Pascal Lamartine, photographer, receive them the day before they are assigned to the story of a lifetime: to penetrate and expose the perfect faAade of John Hawthorne, the charming Kennedy-esque U.S. Ambassador to Great Britain. The threatening package contents foretell the deceit, betrayal and dark desires to come as they unmask Hawthorne.

Deftly woven of erotic secrets and unfolding deceptions, Lovers and Liars is a romantic and spellbinding suspenseful journey into the mysteries of the heart, where love can sustain the soul - or twist in cruelly.
