She thought she found love.
He only wanted revenge.
Elena Marlowe never believed in second chances-until Adrian Blackwood. With his smoldering eyes, dangerous charm, and promises that felt like salvation, he swept her into a world of passion so intense it burned.
But behind every kiss lurked a lie. Adrian wasn't hers. He wanted someone else. Someone from his past. And when the truth tore through her world, Elena was left shattered, drowning in betrayal.
Now, Adrian will do anything to win her back-even if it means bleeding for her forgiveness, begging at her feet, and proving that the only chains he wants are the ones that bind him to her.
A dark, twisted, and achingly passionate romance, Velvet Lies is a story of obsession, betrayal, and the dangerous beauty of love that refuses to die.
