The Lie Between Us

HE was temptation wrapped in power.
SHE was sent to bring him down.

They were never supposed to want each other. But what if they belonged with each other?

***

Two years after tragedy shattered her world, ELENA ROSELLI steps into the shadows of New York's underworld - as a weapon. The FBI had one mission for her: infiltrate AURELIO VITALE's empire and expose the kingpin behind the city's most elusive crime family.
But the man she's meant to deceive isn't just dangerous.

AURELIO VITALE is cold, calculating, cruel and devastatingly magnetic - the kind of man women should fear, not fantasize about. He is a controlled chaos in a tailored suit, and far more than he appears.

Nothing about him is clean. And nothing about her is innocent.

She's playing a role. So is he.
Yet somewhere between their stolen glances, lingering touches, the lines blur - and there's something neither of them will say aloud.
And the most dangerous deception might be the one they've built around each other.

In a world where loyalty is currency and betrayal is fatal, one question remains:

How do you protect someone... when loving them means destroying everything.
