Twisted Lies When a mysterious threat forces sweet, introverted Stella Alonso to seek shelter with the dangerously charming billionaire living one floor above her, she agrees to his proposition: fake-date him in exchange for his protection. Christian Harper is everything she shouldn't want—cold, calculating, and unapologetically ruthless—yet beneath his tailored suits and icy exterior, she discovers an intensity that ignites something deep within her. As their pretend relationship blurs into something achingly real, they're both forced to confront the secrets and lies woven into every moment together, risking everything when the truth finally surfaces. This dark, addictive romance will have you swooning over a man who's absolutely terrible for her... and absolutely perfect for the story.
