Fool Me Once 4 - What if I Lied to You?

Clara Presley has mastered the ultimate skill of her Underworld: the perfect lie. Now, as a full-fledged member of the Irish mob, she believes she can outmaneuver anyone—even her dangerously controlling husband, John Carrington. But when Carrington allows a masked, sword-wielding figure to initiate a treacherous game targeting Clara, she knows the threat is greater than any they've faced. This dark new nemesis, tied to a world of deep-rooted greed and coveted power dynamics, is hunting her across continents, daring her to play. Clara knows nothing is what it seems in Carrington's universe. She senses a fatal trap lurking beneath the surface, but just as she unearths a world of heartbreaking deception and devastating truth about her shared destiny with Carrington, the game ends in an instant of darkness. Clara wakes with amnesia, left with only wispy memories of her life, her power, and her husband. Now, she must rely entirely on the manipulative man she can't remember—the same man who unexpectedly reveals a secret more significant than she could have imagined. To save the man she loves, Clara must re-learn a life she forgot—before the masked figure can finish the hunt. Author's note to readers: WHAT IF I LIED 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.
