About The Book
In the delightful novel “Sex, Lies, and Sensibility”, author Nikki Payne serves up a tantalizing blend of romance, secrets, and sisterhood. Drawing inspiration from Jane Austen’s classic “Sense and Sensibility,” Payne weaves a modern tale that will leave readers both breathless and amused.
The story revolves around Shenora “Nora” Dash, whose life takes a wild turn when her ex-boyfriend leaks their intimate sex tape without her consent. Nora abandons college and her beloved track team, grappling with panic attacks. But that’s not all—when her father passes away, Nora and her sister, Maryanne (“Yanne”), discover they are his secret second family. The “real” family, however, isn’t about to let them inherit a single penny. Left with a run-down beachfront inn on Abenaki land in rural Maine, Nora and Yanne face a choice: transform the inn into a profitable venture or lose it to foreclosure.
