False Eden

<p>There's something unsettling about dancing with a man who knows all your secrets-or worse the ones you haven't figured out yet. That's Alistair Hawthorne for you. Tall charming and exuding enough danger to keep my guard permanently up he walked into my life with an offer I couldn't refuse. A fake engagement to settle my family's debts seemed easy enough but nothing about Alistair is easy. He watches me like he's solving a riddle and I'm beginning to think I'm the answer he's been waiting for. The problem is I've spent my entire life hiding the parts of myself that matter most-my scars my regrets the truth about who I am-and he's determined to uncover them all. When a single key unlocks more than just the past I find myself trapped in a game where trust is as rare as daylight and lies are currency. The line between enemy and ally is razor-thin and every step feels like a dance on the edge of disaster. But as secrets unravel one thing becomes clear: Alistair might not be the only one hiding something. I just didn't expect the truth to come crashing down like this. If you're into dangerous chemistry razor-sharp banter and the kind of secrets that can set a world on fire this is where you want to be. Welcome to my story.</p>
