The Whispers of a Lie - The First Lie: Ashes of Innocence by Dorian De LaRue

Beneath the glass towers of New York, a woman learns that innocence is not lost in a single moment. It fades quietly, choice by choice, until the mirror no longer tells the truth.

Catherine Sinclair has always followed the rules. She was raised to please, to obey, to hide the pieces of herself that didn’t fit the life she was promised. But one stolen glance changes everything. What begins as curiosity becomes temptation, and what feels like love begins to taste like ruin.

Fabian Laurent is the man she should never want. Brilliant, untouchable, already taken. Yet he sees through her composure, and in that gaze she finds the part of herself she thought she had buried. Together, they ignite something neither can control.

As secrets spread through the upper tiers of power and privilege, Catherine’s perfect world begins to crumble. Every truth uncovered demands another lie, and soon she must decide whether she is willing to destroy her old life to live the one she truly wants.

Set against the glitter and corruption of Manhattan’s elite, The First Lie: Ashes of Innocence is a darkly seductive story about forbidden desire, the decay of morality, and the moment love becomes indistinguishable from sin.
