__________________________

Ember Lee Cardinal hasn't always been a liar . . .

When Ember's resumé is rejected for the
thirty-seventh time, she decides to take matters into her own hands and get a little 'creative' with her qualifications . . . and the ethnicity question - but it's only a half-lie, isn't it? No one wanted Native American Ember, but white Ember has just landed her dream accounting job on Park Avenue (Park Avenue, Oklahoma City, that is).

Ember thrives in corporate life - and her love life seems to be looking up too when she meets Danuwoa Colson, hot IT guy and fellow Native. Before long, they're growing closer, despite her concerns over the no-dating policy at work . . .

But, when they're caught in a compromising position on a work trip, a scheming colleague blackmails Ember, threatening to expose their relationship. As the manipulation continues, Ember's lies start to snowball. Can she keep living her lies, or will she risk everything by finally coming clean?
