Savage Lies: A Dark Marriage of Convenience Romance (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798258809650)

"I married the monster who slaughtered my family. Now, I'm going to tear his empire apart from the inside."

Elara Vance was born into the glittering, blood-soaked royalty of Veridia's underworld. But when her brother is murdered in the dead of night, her crown is stolen, and her family's legacy is left in ruins.

The architect of her nightmare? Julian Thorne. Known as the Butcher of Veridia, he is a ruthless, untouchable syndicate boss who claims her city-and demands Elara as his bride to legally secure his violent reign.

Trapped in the impenetrable Obsidian Tower, Elara takes her vows with a switchblade strapped to her thigh. Her mission is simple: find the proof of Julian's treason, avenge her brother, and burn the Butcher to the ground.

But Julian isn't the gloating, cold-blooded tyrant she expected. He is fiercely protective, dangerously magnetic, and willing to take a bullet for her without a second thought. As cartel hit squads close in and a ghost in the machine begins manipulating the syndicate's servers, Elara uncovers a terrifying conspiracy that shatters everything she thought she knew.

The truth she built her hatred on is a savage lie. And to survive the real monster, Elara must forge a lethal partnership with the husband she swore to kill.
