"Hate and love are two sides of the same coin-both dangerous, both impossible to control."
In a world fueled by secrets, betrayal, and power, Adrian DeLuca, the cold and calculating heir to a ruthless mafia empire, is forced to confront his greatest enemy: Sienna Castellano, the fiercely independent daughter of his family's sworn rival. Their families have been at war for decades, their hatred etched in blood. But when a fragile truce brings them together, their undeniable chemistry turns every encounter into a dangerous game of cat and mouse.
Sienna despises everything Adrian represents-the control, the violence, the arrogance. Yet, beneath his hardened exterior, she glimpses a vulnerability he keeps hidden, a man fighting his own battles. Adrian knows he should view her as a threat, a pawn in a game of power, but her fiery strength and defiance awaken desires he can't ignore.
What begins as a battle of wills becomes a slow-burning connection neither can deny. Stolen moments and secret meetings blur the lines of hatred and passion, forcing them to question everything they've been taught to believe. But in a world where loyalty is life and betrayal means death, falling for each other could cost them everything.
Will Adrian and Sienna risk it all for a love that defies their families' legacies, or will the weight of their world crush them? "Beneath the Lies" is a gripping tale of forbidden romance, where enemies become lovers and every choice has deadly consequences.
