Liar Liar by Lucy Lee

A high-stakes fake romance unravels into
something dangerously honest in Liar Liar, a new
contemporary romance just released from
Palmetto Publishing.

Charleston, SC, Feb. 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- In Liar Liar, Lucy Lee introduces Lena Dodd, a twenty-nine-year-old who is broke, jobless, and out of second chances. Her compulsive lying has burned every bridge she’s ever built. So, when she stumbles across The Greatest Modern Love Story,
An online contest promising $100,000, she enters on a whim—and to her complete surprise, wins. That surprise quickly turns to panic when Lena realizes she didn’t read the fine print. The prize includes a full digital campaign—complete with cameras, interviews, and public appearances—featuring the real couple behind the story. Scrambling to produce a believable soulmate, Lena turns to Mac McGreggor, a charming narcissist she met at Liars Anonymous and the only person who can match her in deceit.

Their agreement is simple: fake a relationship for three months, split the money, and walk away. For Mac, though, the deal comes with a bonus—a chance to finally date the woman who’s always kept him at a distance. As the performance intensifies and the line between truth and fiction blurs, Lena and Mac begin to question what’s real—and whether love is worth the risk.
