    About this ebook

    While representing a wealthy tycoon and his ambitious and devious grandson, hard-boiled lawyer Jake Stone is saved from a vicious beating in a shady alley by a lovely young woman with a knack for the martial arts. Snowflake, she calls herself and quickly latches onto Jake for a wild ride through the underbelly of corporate America and beyond. But is she who she says she is, just a humble paralegal looking for a job, or is she a corporate spy, a gun runner, an assassin, or simply a nice girl on the hunt for a decent guy, or perhaps all of the above?

    The big question is whether Jake will live long enough to find out.

    "At 190 heart stopping pages Deception is a rollicking, action-packed thriller with plenty of bullets, bodies, karate chops, belly laughs and shady characters to enchant even the most demanding reader. I especially enjoyed Snowflake. Now there's a girl who really knows how to kick butt in style! I look forward to reading the next volume in this wild and engrossing series." Theodora K.

    "A most interesting version of the usual lawyer vs the bad guys novel. This book is an easy read and makes you want more." RRCERNY

    "Love this author and find his writings mesmerizing and his vocabulary is top notch." Brandon Zimmerman

    "If you're looking for entertainment, aren't scared off by strong, beautiful women, enjoy taking your thrills with some laughs and are willing to pay 99 cents, this book is for you."

    "The book is great, and surprisingly well developed, given all the twists and turns. This author has a way of vividly depicting events that has the reader SEEING the altercations and fights. Here's a story that's a good comedy ( or is it a farce?)! The ending is a good surprise, and I do wonder about the lawyer's next steps." Purplespa

    "Love this writing style. New characters are easily introduced while developing the intriguing story line. Rapid moving story allows you see what you are reading. I am officially a fan."

    "This was a great read - compelling, entertaining and definitely a sit-on-the-edge-of-your-seat thriller. I'm searching other books by the author already!" P. Sands

    "Great series, loved each and every volume in this fast paced, futuristic series. Loved it! No amount of words can say how unique these stories are!" Gloria M.

    "I blindly chose this author, and I am so glad I did. I couldn't put my kindle down. Great book!" Sue

    "Of course it was good, it's a Jake Stone thriller!!!" tc
