The Whispers of a Lie Part I: Beneath The Ashes by Dorian De LaRue
Love doesn’t set you free. It teaches you how to bleed beautifully.

Catherine Sinclair has learned how to survive in silence—engaged to a man who controls her every breath, every move, every illusion of choice.

Enter Fabian Laurent. Brilliant. Untouchable.
He’s the kind of man who shouldn’t look at her the way he does—like he knows she’s already halfway to breaking. Their connection is instant, magnetic... and dangerous. Because once you’re seen, you can no longer pretend. And once you want something real, you can’t return to the lie.

But in a world built on control, trust is a liability. Desire is a trap. And love?
Love is just another kind of possession.

Beneath the Ashes is a seductive, slow-burn psychological thriller where obsession masquerades as romance, and salvation may be the most dangerous illusion of all. Fans of Gone Girl, Verity, and You will be drawn into this story of unraveling identity, weaponized intimacy, and the high cost of wanting more.

Perfect for readers who

Morally grey characters who walk the edge of ruin

Dark romance where every kiss cuts deeper

Twists hidden behind beautiful lies

High-society glam with noir-style shadows

This isn’t a story of love.
It’s about the moment love turns—and takes you with it.
