Nine Years After

Betrayal. Secrets. Lies. War.
Can love survive when nothing is what it seems?

Maeve and Callum were once inseparable—until a sudden, brutal act shattered everything. For nine years, Maeve believed that he had betrayed her.

But it’s all an elaborate lie, and Maeve soon learns that she’s surrounded by secrets.

A staged fallout. A series of calculated deceptions. An arranged marriage. A bitter rivalry. Can Maeve navigate the lies and the bloodshed to take her rightful place as a leader?

Now, with the brutal Costa family closing in, Maeve agrees to an uneasy alliance with Callum, and their life together starts falling into place as the burden of the last nine years fades away. But some things are too good to be true. And just when she learns to trust Callum again, she discovers the truth. A truth he has kept from her.

He doesn’t just want an alliance.
He wants her.

A whirlwind international trip offers a temporary calm, but the stillness feels wrong. Too quiet. Too perfect. With old feelings resurfacing and buried secrets unraveling, Maeve begins to wonder: who can she trust?

Some truths destroy more than lies ever could.
And some hearts may not survive what’s coming.
Will they all make it back?
