Velvet Lies (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798198248595)

Velvet Lies is a seductive dark romance about the dangerous space between being loved... and being understood.

Amara has spent years surviving relationships by softening the truth-carefully editing herself into someone easier to keep. Then she meets Dominic: observant, emotionally controlled, and impossible to deceive. He doesn't demand honesty from her. He studies her until the truth surfaces on its own.

What begins as obsession quickly becomes something far more intimate-and far more destructive.

Because Dominic doesn't love blindly.
He loves like a man who has been betrayed before.
Carefully.
Strategically.
Like trust is something earned under pressure.

But when Elijah enters the picture-calm where Dominic is intense, safe where Dominic feels dangerous-Amara finds herself drawn toward a version of love that doesn't feel like survival.

Caught between two men who awaken completely different parts of her, Amara is forced to confront the most terrifying question of all:

Is love supposed to feel consuming...
or safe enough to survive?

Filled with emotional tension, psychological intimacy, obsession, betrayal, devastating chemistry, and the kind of love that blurs the line between vulnerability and destruction, Velvet Lies is a haunting dark romance about what happens when two wounded people mistake emotional warfare for connection.
