Lies That Break Us (Syndicate of Fate #2)
Rae Douglas
Clara Costa needs a husband—taking over as the Matriarch of The Syndicate of Fate depends on it. But every date is a disaster, with potential spouses disappearing and blocking her number at every turn. She’s desperate to find someone, anyone, to stand by her side as she takes her rightful place as heir, knowing that if she doesn’t select a match, the crown will pass to her brother. Until she meets Deniz Simsek. He’s smart, handsome, and owns a multinational security company that would bolster the resources of The Syndicate significantly. So what if she has to blackmail him into marrying her? All things considered, he takes it in stride.
And why wouldn’t he, when he’s been planning this moment for over a year? Since his brother’s life was taken in the fire that nearly killed Lucia Costa, Deniz has been on a singular path—infiltrate The Syndicate of Fate, use their resources to take down whoever ordered the hit on Lucia’s life, and destroy The Syndicate from the inside. After months of watching her, he places himself in Clara’s path, and she gives him the perfect opportunity.
Soon, both Clara and Deniz have to reckon with the fact that the world is not so black and white and that good and evil bleed into one another like oil into water. Through lies and lust, pain and pleasure, support and manipulation, the pair must separate desire from animosity. And with the threat of a mole in The Syndicate hanging over their heads, they’re faced with two trust each other, or kill each other.
