Could she? Would it have made any difference? Maeve lied as well, but Mab didn't notice anything until it was too late. And in the end Lea couldn't disobey Mab, the infestation hadn't gone that far, Mab realized something was off and Lea confessed everything and gave up the Knife and went into ice rehab.
Conspiracy Theorist:
Maeve was her daughter, a known rebel within Winter Law

The fae love to deceive.
But... when did Lea actually lie?
I don't recall that she did.
Similarly, I don't recall that she ever disobeyed a direct order from Mab; worked against the spirit or the intent, sure! But Mab chose Lea specifically to be a challenge, to keep herself sharp by honing herself on Lea's resistance.
Maybe that all happened offscreen...?
We know that Nemfection can let the nemfected break rules... Maeve absolutely reveled in the ability to lie. We don't -- AFAIK -- know that it's always the same rule-breaking for all entities.
Conspiracy Theorist:
You don’t deceive Mab, not if you are Winter.
Yes it likely happened off screen for dramatic reasons, we first learn of Leas Nemfection when Harry comes across her imprisoned and she pleads with him to release her. As readers we are deliberately given no clue.
vincentric:
You don't deceive Mab in the long term. But she's not omniscient and you can get things over in short term.
Lea and Maeve were both Nemfected, It didn't take Mab long to discover it, but a lot of damage was done.
Harry's suicide was successful and would have been permanent if not for Ivy's threat to Kincaid and Mab going to extraordinary measures to save him. She was actually pleased with the attempt.
