Under the Lies


Sarah E. Green - 2019
     That’s how long I was able to stay away. To ignore the call back home. I could’ve stayed away longer. Could’ve stayed away forever, but I came back for someone who’s now gone. Leaving me alone. I thought it’d be safe. That I’d be okay back in a city that’s always felt more like my prison, but then he took notice. Noah Kincaid. My tormentor, my first crush. My devil. And he’s not only after me. Something was taken from him. Something he requires my help with to get back. Six years ago, I left this city unscathed by the man who ruled my teenage angst. Now? I don’t think I’ll be as lucky.

Counsellor


Celia Aaron - 2015
    Once every ten years, the pretense falls away and a tournament is held to determine who will rule them. The Acquisition is a crucible for the Southern nobility, a love letter written to a time when barbarism was enshrined as law. Now, Sinclair Vinemont is in the running to claim the prize. There is only one way to win, and he has the key to do it — Stella Rousseau, his Acquisition. To save her father, Stella has agreed to become Sinclair's slave for one year. Though she is at the mercy of the cold, treacherous Vinemont, Stella will not go willingly into darkness. As Sinclair and Stella battle against each other and the clock, only one thing is certain: The Acquisition always ends in blood. Full disclosure: This book is a dark romance with elements of slavery, violence, BDSM, and super-hot sex. It is the first of a series and ends on a cliffhanger. If you're good with these caveats, enjoy.
