Deception's Kiss - A Game of Trust Betrayal and Forbidden Passion

Lila Hart

Sinopsis

A gala. A stolen diamond. A dangerous game of trust and betrayal.
Emily Carter, an ambitious art curator, is preparing for the event of her career—the grand unveiling of a priceless diamond necklace, “The Celestial Rose.” But when the necklace is stolen during the gala, her life is thrown into chaos. As the prime suspect, Emily’s world unravels, and the only person who can help clear her name is the captivating but enigmatic Damon Blackwood.
Damon, a charismatic philanthropist with a dark past, disappears the night of the theft. But when he reappears, claiming to have been framed and asking for her help, Emily is forced into a partnership she’s hesitant to trust. As they dig deeper into the mystery, they uncover a tangled web of lies, deception, and dangerous criminal syndicates. The stakes grow higher, and the tension between them intensifies—both professionally and personally.
In a world where nothing is as it seems, Emily must decide if Damon is the charming man he appears to be—or if his secrets threaten to destroy them both. With danger closing in and the truth hanging in the balance, Emily is faced with the ultimate choice: can love survive in a world built on deception?
In Deception’s Kiss, a thrilling romantic suspense, lies blur the lines between passion and peril, where the only thing more dangerous than the criminals they face… is the heart they risk giving away. Will Emily and Damon uncover the truth before it's too late? Or will they fall victim to the ultimate betrayal?
Get ready for a heart-pounding ride full of twists, romance, and shocking revelations. Deception’s Kiss will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very last page.

Marcus is interviewed by an investigative journalist, Kristi Grainger, and they find themselves on parallel paths leading to a Neapolitan trafficker in antiquities, a tech mogul obsessed with the distant past, and a clutch of academics searching for the lost library of Herculaneum.
