  She dreams of marrying a nobleman. Too bad he's only pretending to be one. Cecilia Cosgrove’s beauty opens doors and hearts everywhere she goes. With a marquess courting her, the status and wealth her family is counting on her to obtain is finally within her reach—until she meets Jacques Levesque, the French nobleman who immediately pegs her as affected and superficial. While piqued and offended, Cecilia secretly begins to wonder whether he might not have a point. Poor French émigré Jacques Levesque has been disguised as a French nobleman for almost as long as he can remember, trying his hardest to keep his head down in a society obsessed with rank and high birth. But when Cecilia Cosgrove comes into his life, he finds it hard to maintain his façade—or to want to. While Cecilia struggles between the desire to please others and the wish to pursue her own course, Jacques's interest in her provokes a powerful enemy intent on taking him down. With love, acceptance, and the future on the line for them both, Cecilia and Jacques must decide whether a life lived behind a mask is any life at all.

  As one of the first women to referee in the NFL, Charleigh has a lot of pressure on her shoulders and a lot of eyes watching her. But no one is watching Charleigh harder than the head coach of Atlanta's football team. 
   
   
   
  Levi Peyton has made a name for himself, becoming the youngest coach in the NFL to win a Super Bowl. His achievements didn't come without a price, and the last thing Levi needs is a rookie referee standing in front of him on the sideline. 
   
   
   
  Especially a woman the league wants him to coddle to save their image. Despite the warnings, Levi plans to treat her the way he would any other referee: With a fight. If she blows a call, he plans to let her have it. 
   
   
   
  But there's a history between Charleigh and Levi that neither of them can erase, much less forget. It's a feeling they have to fight for the sake of their jobs. Of course, that'd be easier to do if the fight stayed on the field. But it carries over to the locker room, the gym, and the middle of a boxing ring. 
   
   
   
  Their feelings get complicated, and it's getting harder to deny that what they have is no longer a fight. It's real. 
   
   
   
  And the only way for it to work is for one of them to throw in the towel. 
   
   
   
  Contains mature themes.

  Elias Thorne, a celebrated expert in forensic psychology, believes his life is a model of structure and truth—until his architect wife, Vivian Sterling, vanishes. Her only clue is a cryptic note: "The Only Lie That Matters Is the One You Tell Yourself." 
  Elias initially suspects infidelity, but his investigation leads him to a terrifying discovery: his perfect life, his esteemed career, and even his own memories were meticulously engineered by a clandestine organization known as The Cadre. Elias is Subject 404, a puppet designed to forget the trauma of his past and serve as an anchor for a massive, global psychological operation run by his own mentor, Dr. Alistair Finch. 
  Driven by a desperate need to reclaim his identity, Elias must follow the trail Vivian left behind—a complex, brilliant map hidden within architectural blueprints and coded messages. He soon realizes Vivian did not run from him; she ran for him, sacrificing her own safety to expose the ultimate deception and lead him to the one person he was programmed to forget: his sister, Phoenix. 
  Now, Elias must race across continents to evade The Cadre, decipher Vivian’s final, devastating secrets, and confront his creator to save the family he never knew he had. The Last Thing She Said is a high-stakes psychological thriller that asks: If the foundation of your life is built on a lie, how far would you go to reclaim the truth? 
  Discover the Masterpiece of Deception That Will Make You Question the Reality of Your Own Memories.
