Clara Presley finally knows the cost of her union with the brilliant and manipulative John Carrington: her identity. As she drafts new laws for their volatile marriage, she discovers that Carrington is more than just a husband. He is a strategist who refuses to lose his most prized asset.
Buried beneath Carrington's web of lies is a secret Clara knows is lurking. As he tightens his grip to keep the truth submerged, Clara's sanity erodes under the weight of his relentless psychological games. Desperate to outmaneuver the man who seduces her mind, she seeks a reprieve on her beloved streets of Philadelphia.
There, she finds a temporary sanctuary in Alex Campbell, a charismatic force whose light offers a stark contrast to Carrington's shadows. But the taste of a normal life only amplifies a terrifying realization: Clara is addicted to the ferocious, predatory intensity of the man she left behind.
Just as she begins to consider a life outside Carrington's orbit, the secret he has been guarding demands its due. The labyrinth of his deceptions is closing in, and the exit is vanishing. Clara is forced to decide: will she embrace the safety of the mundane, or surrender to the dark, inevitable fate tied to her own personal Hades?
Author's note to readers:
WOULD I LIE TO YOU? is the second installment of a seven-book saga—a modern-day gothic psychological reimagining of the Hades and Persephone myth. This book features a clinically obsessive British tycoon, an unreliable narrator, and a forced marriage that spirals into a high-stakes psychological thriller. The series explores the thin line between love and control. For fans of high-intelligence romantic suspense and slow-burn Victorian/Gothic anti-heroes in a contemporary dark romance setting. Reader discretion is advised.
