Elena Marsh has the perfect life — a beautiful home, a successful husband, and a marriage everyone envies. But perfection is just the prettiest lie. When Detective Ryan Cole shows up at her door asking questions about Daniel, Elena's world begins to crack. The man she married isn't who he says he is. His name. His past. His love. All of it — constructed. As Elena unravels the truth, she finds herself drawn to the one person she shouldn't want: the man trying to put her husband behind bars. But Daniel isn't the kind of man who lets go. The closer Elena gets to the truth, the closer she gets to becoming the next woman who disappears. Some lies are told to protect. Some are told to possess. And some are told to kill. Book one of The Lies Trilogy.
I've always been the friend who asks "but what if he's lying?" during every movie night. I grew up sneaking my mom's romance novels and binge-watching crime shows way too young, so honestly, writing romance thrillers was inevitable. I write for people who want butterflies in their stomach and chills down their spine at the same time. My characters are messy, flawed, and fall for exactly the wrong person, because those are the best stories. I hope when you listen, it feels like a late-night conversation with a friend who always has one more secret to tell.View all by Voilet Gems
