Sea of Lies — Julia Derek

Reality TV star Eden Elk is shocked to learn she was born a man. Well, that's what the National Enquirer claims. Eden herself has never had reason to suspect she was anything but a woman. It turns out her own mother has revealed to the gossip rag that Eden is a hermaphrodite, a child born with male and female sex organs. The male parts were removed when Eden was a toddler. How will the explosive news affect her TV career? But Eden soon has more serious matters to worry about: Two days after Eden's birth secret was made public, her boyfriend Justin dies in a freak sailing accident. What's worse, Eden discovers it was no accident - Justin was murdered and her mother is a prime suspect.

NOTE: SEA OF LIES is a stand-alone thriller with no sex or violence.
