My romantic suspense novel, HOUSE OF LIES, which was published by The Wild Rose Press, was my fiction debut in 2007. In the story, Jake and Hannah, have no intention of falling in love when they meet at Hannah’s newly inherited house. But romance finds them as they search for hidden letters that link the present to a twenty-year-old crime.

Themes of revenge, redemption, and forgiveness run through the fast-paced story. The story question: will Hannah risk her heart and her life to find out who her late father was?

Reviewers for HOUSE OF LIES had this to say: "Five stars." "I couldn't put it down." "A romantic tale of deceit, danger, and murder." "A yummy hero. A yummy romance. An intriguing mystery."

Buy House of Lies (ISBN 9781601540317) today at Amazon.com

In the book, Cleopatra Jones must find out who killed the dead banker or her best friend will go to jail. Kirkus Reviews recently said: "Toussaint's debut is an amusing addition to the cozy ranks with possibilities for future development." Publisher's Weekly had this to say: "This witty cozy...takes some unexpected and dangerous turns as it builds to a satisfying conclusion." In For A Penny received 4 stars from Romantic Times.
