"You can't take all of us, sweetheart." Valen's voice is smooth, teasing, but the way his fingers brush against my hip isn't playful. It's testing. Behind me, Fennec chuckles, his breath warm as he leans in, his lips barely ghosting the shell of my ear. "She could try." His voice dips lower, dragging heat down my spine. "I'd love to watch her try." ------------------------------- Soraya Cordova was never meant to survive. Stolen as a child and discarded as a mistake, she was given a second chance when the Cordovas adopted her into a life of wealth, secrets, and silent wars. But when her parents are declared dead and the world turns against her found family, she realizes survival is no longer enough, she needs to fight. Raised as assassins, her adoptive brothers have spent years keeping her in the dark, but now? Now, she's in the center of the storm. Wanted by the government. Hunted by the man who created her. And trapped in a dangerous game of love, loyalty, and lies with the only people who have ever mattered. Because in their world, trust is a weapon. Not all love stories are gentle. Some are jagged at the edges, built on shadows and sins, tangled in pasts too dark to escape. White Lies is one of those stories. It's about the things we do to survive, the lies we tell to protect, and the love that thrives even in the darkest corners. Read at your own risk.

What keeps the world moving? Love? Certainly not. Hope? Not really. Money? Absolutely, and no one knows it better than the rich upper class elites of India. But money is not the only thing you can earn. In fact, these elites will tell you there is one thing harder to earn that money: Respect. Especially if everyone believes that you have been handed your life on a silver platter. Which is why they worked hard to make sure they're never questioned again. Now that they dominate their respective industries, they work hard to make sure they're never dethroned. However the thing is, when you work this hard you don't have time for much else. When you're this ambitious, you don't have space for anything else, including love. Samiksha Arora, 28, is the founder and the managing partner of the biggest law firm in India. A proud feminist, Samiksha, comes from a disgustingly rich family but she has always felt the need to prove herself. She's independent and determined, the definition of a badass, feared all over the country. But she's kind too, and a hopeless romantic, though no one knows it because according to her it's a sign of weakness. And you can't afford to be weak in her world, you'll be eaten alive. Her friends are her life and she loves them with all her heart. All she wants is to fall in love, not because she needs a man but because she wants one, someone who will love her the way she does.
