Did I Lie? - Fool Me Once, #1 - E-book - ePub

When a beautiful, foul-mouthed American author meets a handsome and wealthy British talk show host via a mismatch made in heaven, the sparks fly, and the only sure bet is that all bets are off. Heartwarming and heart-wrenching by turns, this spicy, dramatic rom-com will keep you flipping pages. After a steamy one-night stand in Las Vegas, Clara Presley and John Carrington part ways.until they unexpectedly find themselves back in Vegas six months later-married.
Bound by a consuming physical attraction and an intense mutual fascination, their interactions crackle with explosive confrontations and passionate love. Carrington is a brilliant psychologist. He's also deeply manipulative and controlling, bent on curbing Clara's self-destructive behaviors-for her own good, of course. Clara is staunchly independent. As a renowned author, she's easily Carrington's equal.
She sees through his games and calls him out every time. In the rare instances when they get along, she knows that he's the best thing to ever happen to her. But they mostly fight, and she'd like to throttle him. He in turn seduces her out of her mind to make her forget her worries so that he can take control. Manipulation was never this much fun.or this trying on the nerves. Snippet from Chapter 4:"Are you angry that I used my insight to bang at the walls surrounding your fear of intimacy, or merely that I made you feel something?"My mouth gaped as I slouched.
"That you used it to what?" I sat upright. "No way. Uh-uh. You didn't answer my question."He smirked under the shadow of his hand and cocked his head. "Answer mine and I will answer yours.""A sexy rollercoaster of emotion and heartfelt drama with a relatable protagonist you cheer on until the very last chapter, Did I Lie by Astra Capone delivers from the first juicy page. This red-hot debut novel screams onto the literary scene and leaves you salivating for more.
I'm anxiously awaiting the next installment of this spicy series.
