Welcome to Litsy!

A Chickasaw woman who can�t catch a break serves up a little white lie that snowballs into much more in this witty and irresistible rom-com by debut author Danica Nava. Ember Lee Cardinal has not always been a liar�well, not for anything that counted at least. But her job search is not going well and when her resum� is rejected for the thirty-seventh time, she takes matters into her own hands. She gets �creative� listing her qualifications and answers the ethnicity question on applications with a lie�a half-lie, technically. No one wanted Native American Ember, but white Ember has just landed her dream accounting job on Park Avenue (Oklahoma City, that is). Accountant Ember thrives in corporate life�and her love life seems to be looking up too: Danuwoa Colson, the IT guy and fellow Native who caught her eye on her first day, seems to actually be interested in her too. Despite her unease over the no-dating policy at work, they start to see each other secretly, which somehow makes it even hotter? 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 to grow, so do Ember�s lies. She must make the hard decision to either stay silent or finally tell the truth, which could cost her everything.
