Where Sleeping Lies Lie
by M. Naidoo
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Romantic Suspense
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
“Two men... two worlds... one desperate promise...”
If
Anna had only known how the simple push of a button would turn her life upside
down, she would never have pressed ‘Play.’
Just
22 seconds into the recording she’s hit by the realization that, if the voice
in the thick German accent is right, she has been living with an unthinkable
lie for the past thirty years.
There
is only one way to find out: Follow the instruction left by a dead person and
head back to Germany, to a life Anna has next to no conscious memory of.
To
her surprise, she finds an unexpected ally in Peter, an old childhood friend
whose law degree and language skills prove to be more than useful. Besides, he
has the most gorgeous blue eyes and the uncanny ability to push Anna's buttons
without the slightest effort. At every turn, their search for answers is
littered with more lies and revelations.
Anna
must ultimately decide whether even the noblest of ends, truly justify the
means and whether some secrets should better stay buried.
“Mystery, history, and a twist at every turn. Brilliant
characters and prolific storytelling... irresistible!”

EXCERPT TWO:
"Happy
now?"
"I'll
tell you in a minute." Peter grabbed a cookie and took a slow and careful
bite. Like a wine connoisseur would taste a sip of rare, expensive wine, he
chewed slowly, eyes closed, a pondering frown on his forehead. Anna waited for
the verdict, patiently, while everything in her wanted to pick up a sofa
cushion and smack his smug face. She had never been a physical person, but
somehow he brought out that side of her. God, could he be any more obnoxious?
"And?"
He just had to make her ask, hadn't he?
"Not
quite…." He grinned. "But the closest any cookie has ever come.
Martha would be proud."
Before
she could stop herself, reflex took over, and the sofa cushion landed on the
back of Peter's head. Bam!
"Ouch!
That hurt!" He rubbed his head and looked at her more in surprise than
pain.
"Good."
Anna crossed her arms in front of her chest, jaw clenched, eyes shooting off
invisible darts.
"Okay,
guess I deserved that. Sorry, I'm not usually this…" He was looking for
the right word.
"Chauvinistic?"
Anna jumped in.
"No.
Good one, but not quite." He looked up at the ceiling, still pondering.
"Obnoxious?"
"Wow.
Don't hold back now."
"Irritatingly
annoying?" Anna offered.
"I
was going to say delightfully charming," he paused before adding, "or
failing at it. Anyway, is that how you treat a friend that's doing you a
favor?"
Now
it was her turn to apologize. "Sorry." She reached out and offered
her hand, "Truce?"
Peter
took it, but instead of shaking it he held on and pulled her onto the sofa next
to him. "Are we gonna do this or what?"

AUTHOR BIO:
M. Naidoo lives
in Northern California with her husband, two daughters, and three dogs. Born
and raised in Germany, she was able to draw on a wealth of memories and passed
down stories for Where Sleeping Lies Lie.
When
she is not in front of her computer, pounding out story lines and characters,
she enjoys reading, movies, spending time with her family, and long walks on
the beach - her proverbial 'happy place'. M's love for the shore line and ocean
shine through in the vivid descriptions of the coast in her debut novel The
Pelican.
"Juggling
my life as a writer and a full-time 'real' job has its challenges. I don't get
to spend half as much time as I'd like doing what I love, and there are never
enough hours in the day. Still, I feel extremely lucky to be following my
passion, and I am enjoying every minute of it. Getting here has been one heck
of a ride!"
