About the Book

Boyfriend behaving badly? Suspect your husband of straying?

Jennifer Hunter can supply the ultimate test. She runs a company which specializes in conducting fidelity inspections for those who suspect their loved ones may be cheating.

An expert on men, Jennifer can usually tell if they're single, married or lying... Unfortunately, her new boyfriend, Jamie, is one of the few men that she's never been able to 'read.' Has she finally found the perfect man or is he too good to be true?

The Book Trailer




Interview with the Author!

Read an interview Jessica did with her UK publisher, Ebury Press.

1) What was the inspiration for Love Under Cover?

As soon as I finished writing my first novel, The Fidelity Files¸ I knew that Jennifer’s journey wasn’t over yet. Although she had seemed to find her happy ending there was so much more fun stuff I had in mind for another book. Setting Jennifer up with an entire agency of fidelity inspectors (aka “honey traps”) was definitely the first and foremost on my mind for the next instalment.

Plus, I really wanted to explore what a fidelity inspector would be like in a committed relationship. After everything she’s seen—all the cheating, dishonesty, and betrayal—would she really be capable of settling down herself? So that’s what I set out to focus on in this book. Although this book is a "follow-up" to The Fidelity Files, I do feel that the novel and story stand on their own, so I don't believe you have to read Fidelity Files to be able to enjoy this one.

2) Jennifer has a gift of being able to read people – men in particular – in the book, is it a gift you share?

Ha! I wish! I think my life would have been a lot easier if that were the case. Although, I must admit, I do really like observing people and trying to figure them out. Maybe that’s why I became a writer, so I could create characters exactly how I saw them.

I do watch people and I tend to notice little things about them that others may not see. People tell me I can be very observant, when I’m not distracted by something more pressing…like food.

I’d like to think that when I spot a guy and think, “he’s definitely the cheating type,” or when I see a couple in a restaurant and think, “they’re clearly on the verge of splitting up,” that I’m right, but because I don’t follow these people home, I guess I’ll never know.

What was so great about creating Jennifer Hunter/Ashlyn was the ability to be right. I could invent a secondary character, give him a characteristic that I notice in real people, and then have Jennifer “read” him and be spot on about it. It’s almost like I’m living vicariously through her!

3) Which fictional character would you most like to have round for dinner?

Um, Edward Cullen, of course! Although after dinner, I’d probably ask him to stick around for a drink, a movie, coffee, and then who knows where it might lead. I’m not to be held responsible (or accountable) for fictional dinner dates with hot vampires.

4) What is your favorite word?

Hmm…that’s a tough one. I don’t know if I have just one favorite word, I like so very many of them, but I definitely have a least favorite word and that’s “panties.” God, I hate that word! I cringe just writing it here!

5) Why do you write?

I once heard someone say, “Dancers dance because they have to.” I really loved that and I think it’s the same for writers. I definitely have to write. Like I have to breathe. If I don’t, I get very stir crazy. All of that energy has to come out somehow and for me, it comes out in words. Lots and lots of words. Some of them are actually worth publishing.
