Twisted Lies

672 pages

A deliciously dark and addictive descent into an obsession where the safest place for a guarded romantic is in the arms of a monster.

What it feels like

Reading this book feels like stepping into a beautifully tailored trap. It is a masterclass in the morally grey hero experience, wrapping the reader in a sultry, tension-thick atmosphere where danger and desire are inextricably linked. The narrative moves with a propulsive, addictive rhythm, balancing the slow-burn agony of fake dating with sudden, breathless spikes of suspense. The prose is accessible but heavily laced with possessive, intense internal monologues that make the emotional stakes feel life-or-death. It thrives on contrast—the cold, calculating darkness of the hero against the warm, guarded vulnerability of the heroine. This is pure catnip for readers who want their romance heavy on the angst, unapologetically steamy, and dripping with fierce, protective energy.

About the book

He'll do anything to have her...including lie.

Charming, deadly, and smart enough to hide it, Christian Harper is a monster dressed in the perfectly tailored suits of a gentleman.

He has little use for morals and even less use for love, but he can’t deny the strange pull he feels toward the woman living just one floor below him.

She’s the object of his darkest desires, the only puzzle he can’t solve. And when the opportunity to get closer to her arises, he breaks his own rules to offer her a deal she can’t refuse.

Every monster has their weakness. She’s his.
