The story of Maudine Myrstoolkrwicz, a young woman living in a poor neighborhood, who has so many personal problems - she's not pretty, not smart, a virgin, too tall, too honest, scared, unlucky, nervous, shy, naive, lonely, unskilled, sad-that she develops an alter ego, Myrna, to deal with the harsh world around her. The setting is a run-down tenement building and the major characters are her colorful, very eccentric, co-tenants. An uplifting, though unusual, coming-of-age story set in the modern day.

Leah Latrelle has landed herself in the proverbial holiday hot seat. In order to get her family off her back, she told a teeny lie about having a boyfriend. Then "boyfriend" became her "fiancé." Now Leah's family wants to meet Mr. Not-So-Real. But just when it seems her goose is cooked, her underwear-model-hot business partner offers Leah a deal she can't refuse... Mick Kilpatrick has had a thing for Leah for the last two years, but as a single dad, he can't risk anything serious. Still, if he's going to play son-in-law, he'd better make it damn convincing...even if Leah's ready to roast his chestnuts over an open fire. That is until Leah realizes just how attracted she is to him. Because maybe—just maybe—her naughty lie might turn into something more than nice. Previously sold as White Lie Christmas on the Entangled Flirt imprint in November 2013.
