lethal love

Nora Bennett never meant for the lie to last.

At nineteen, still haunted by the girl who bullied her throughout school, Nora steals Chloe Laurent's photographs and creates a fake online identity. What begins as one reckless act of revenge becomes something dangerously real when she meets Dante Moretti.

For three years, Dante knows her as Lia.

He pays her tuition when she can no longer afford it. She sends him gifts chosen with a care no one else understands. They share their secrets, their darkest desires and countless nights tangled together through the sound of each other's voices.

Then Dante decides it is finally time to meet.

Terrified that he will discover the truth, Nora disappears without saying goodbye.

Two years later, Nora begins working at an elite cybersecurity firm-alongside Chloe and beneath the intimidating gaze of its owner, Dante Moretti. Dante recognises Chloe's face, but something about her feels wrong.

Then Nora speaks.

He would recognise that voice anywhere.

Now Dante has found the woman who deceived him, abandoned him and somehow still knows him better than anyone else. But beneath all the stolen photographs and carefully constructed lies, only one question matters:

Were Nora's feelings real?

And what happens when the man she betrayed decides he isn't ready to let her disappear again?

A dark, obsessive romance about stolen identities, buried desire, dangerous proximity and a love that was real-even when everything else was a lie.
