Fool Me Once 2 - Would I Lie to You?

Clara Presley finally knows the price of her marriage to the manipulative John Carrington: her independence. She's ready to lay down new laws with her controlling husband, but if Carrington is anything, he's persistent. He's hiding a secret—one that involves their fated destinies—and the longer he keeps it buried, the tighter his grip on her becomes. Exhausted by Carrington's relentless word games and the erosion of her sanity, Clara makes a break for freedom. She returns to Philadelphia and finds a welcome distraction in Alex Campbell, a charismatic soccer star. But the temporary escape only highlights the terrifying truth: Clara misses the ferocious intensity of Carrington's love. Just as Clara starts rebuilding her life outside his shadow, the secret Carrington hides—the very one she tried to run from—comes back to demand a price. Now, the labyrinth of his lies is closing in, threatening to destroy everything she holds dear. Will Clara choose the freedom of a normal life, or the dangerous fate tied to the man who might be her own personal Hades? Author's note to readers: WOULD I LIE TO YOU? is a dark billionaire romance and modern-day Hades and Persephone retelling with a supernatural twist. This book features a deeply obsessive British tycoon, an unreliable narrator, and a forced marriage that spirals into a high-stakes psychological thriller. The story explores the thin line between love and control. For fans of Irish Mob aesthetics and slow-burn Victorian/Gothic anti-heroes. Reader discretion is advised.
