His Beautiful Lie

One bucket of neon pink paint. That’s all it took to destroy my life—or maybe, to create it. Poppy Miller is a struggling artist in New York, living in a drafty studio in London. Her "Hail Mary" is a high-stakes mural in the high-end neighborhood of Mayfair. But when a freak gust of wind blows her five-gallon bucket of "Electric Flamingo" pink paint off the scaffolding, it doesn't land on the pavement. It lands squarely on a million-dollar Rolls Royce and its owner: Zane Solarin. Zane is the "Shadow of the City"—a British-Nigerian billionaire as cold as he is rich. To the world, he is an untouchable corporate monster. To Poppy, he is currently a very angry man covered in bubblegum-colored paint. But Zane doesn't want Poppy arrested. He needs a diversion. With a multi-billion pound merger hanging precariously in the balance and a predatory mother breathing down his neck, Zane makes Poppy an offer she can't refuse. Marry him in name only for six months, and he’ll make her the most famous artist in London. Don't, and he’ll make sure she never picks up a paintbrush again. Now, the girl from Queens with the sandpaper accent lives in a Surrey estate that’s more like a gilded cage. Between high-society galas and "fiancée lessons," the boundaries between their business and their chemistry become blurred. However, Zane’s world isn’t just built on money; it’s built on secrets. As their "beautiful lie" becomes a target for their enemies, Poppy sees she’s not just a pawn; she’s a part of a war she doesn’t understand. Can a fake romance survive a real thriller set in a world of shadows and bloodlines?" Are you ready to be the best lie I've ever told?"
