Clara Presley is the queen of self-help, an author who has spent a lifetime building her independence. John Carrington is a wealthy, well-mannered British talk show host—and a brilliant psychologist who knows precisely how to break people down.
When their paths collide in Las Vegas, it results in a steamy one-night stand that should have been forgotten.
Less than a year later, they find themselves back in Vegas, married. Now, Clara is trapped in a marriage defined by a ferocious physical attraction and a constant, volatile battle of wills. Her heart tells her Carrington is the best thing that has ever happened to her; her gut warns he is a highly sophisticated, profoundly manipulative danger.
Carrington is determined to use his psychological expertise to take complete control of Clara’s chaotic life. But Clara is his equal. She sees through his games, calls out his every controlling move, and refuses to submit—except in the bedroom, where his powerful intensity seduces her into forgetting her resistance... if only for the night.
Clara knows she must escape this explosive, perplexing marriage before she loses herself completely. But what happens when the man she loves is intent on controlling her destiny?
She’s about to find out how deep his deception runs.
Author’s note to readers:
DID I LIE? is a dark billionaire romance and modern-day Hades and Persephone retelling with a supernatural twist. This book features a deeply obsessive British tycoon, an unreliable narrator, and a forced marriage that spirals into a high-stakes psychological thriller. The story explores the thin line between love and control. For fans of Irish Mob aesthetics and slow-burn Victorian/Gothic anti-heroes. Reader discretion is advised.
