Gabriella thought surviving her old life would be enough. She was wrong.
Haunted by dreams of the fallen angel Cassiel-dreams that seduce, taunt, and tempt her with forbidden eternity-Gabriella begins to question everything she knows about who she is, and what she is becoming.
With Stefan at her side, she journeys across Kansas, Nebraska, Rhode Island, and Boston in search of the truth about her origins, uncovering secrets buried in blood and scripture. But answers only bring more danger: the revelation of her adoption, the mystery of her parents, and whispers of a divine lineage too dark to name.
As Cassiel's shadow presses closer, Stefan's jealousy and possessive love ignite like wildfire. Gabriella longs for immortality-freedom, power, forever-but Stefan refuses to damn her. And while his heart rages with devotion, Cassiel offers everything Stefan denies.
Torn between two eternities, Gabriella is left with choices that could shatter her soul. Choices that threaten to tear Stefan from her grasp. Choices that may awaken something ancient inside her-a truth that cannot be silenced.
Can their love survive the secrets?
Can they survive each other?
Or will desire damn them both?
In this second installment of Confessions Trilogy, love burns hotter, darker, and deadlier than ever. Passion becomes war, and salvation comes at a price no mortal-or immortal-should have to pay.
---
From the dark streets of New Orleans to the vast cornfields of Kansas and Nebraska, shadowed halls of a cursed manor in Providence, and a sacred castle north of Boston, temptation and danger stalk them at every turn. Old enemies return. New betrayals cut deep. And as ancient powers close in, Gabriella and Stefan must decide if their love can withstand not just death-
...but damnation itself.
Obsession. Betrayal. Desire.
Some sins can't be forgiven.
"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.
