    Summary

    Iso is living a lie. Posing as his uncle’s loyal man, he walks a knife’s edge to uncover the truth behind a gun meant to frame Adil for murder, knowing that one wrong step could cost him his life.

    Fadime is living a different kind of sentence. Forced into marriage under threat of death, she weds the very man tied to the danger haunting her family. Only she and Iso know the truth behind their union. To everyone else, they are a devoted couple. In private, they are strangers bound by fear, resentment, and unfinished wounds.

    She is brash, sharp-edged, and fearless, more at ease with a gun in her hand than trust in her heart. He is quiet, calculating, and burdened by guilt, carrying the weight of a past moment when he hurt her and has never forgiven himself. Iso only reaches for a weapon to protect Fadime; Fadime carries hers because the world has never protected her.

    As lies tighten and threats close in, their fragile alliance is tested by betrayal, violence and the slow, dangerous act of learning to trust. What begins as a performance, love worn like armor, becomes something far more terrifying and tender.

    Because the most dangerous lie they tell may be the one they start believing.

    Summary

    After the accident, Fadime wakes up alone.

    The room smells like antiseptic. Machines hum quietly beside her. Her head throbs with memories she can’t quite piece together.

    But none of that matters.

    Because the first thing she searches for is him.

    Iso.

    The man she married out of obligation.
    The man she argued with, teased, fought with-

    She expects to see him sitting beside her bed, watching her the way he always does.

    But the chair is empty.

    And the longer she stares at it, the more one terrible thought settles in her chest:

    Maybe Iso isn’t coming this time.

    Summary

    “But can you promise me Pen, that you wouldn’t do a disastrous thing like getting with one of my brothers. Or even worse, fall in love with one of them?”

     

    **

    She knew how it happened, knew what changed. It was when she started her job at Magazine Danbury a month after she finished University, it was when Colin decided he was staying home instead of whisking away to some place else in the world and got himself a job at the same company.

    It was when Colin came into her life completely. As a colleague, as a friend, as something more.

    And Penelope tried, she tried so hard to resist him with all of her heart.

    But growing closer created a pull that was alluring, that was wanting, and that made Penelope weak to the knees. And being in close proximity with him these past couple of days, made her fall even deeper.

    All of it, leading to this moment. The day after the conference which he invited her to. They were together in their hotel room, room no.165, naked under the sheets in the bed. Laying in the morning afterglow from a mind blowing night before and-

    “What have we done Colin?”

    “Something that we both wanted, for such a long time.”

    Summary

    “Oh.” Eloise sat back and raised a hand to her mouth, considering. “That is a neat solution. If you two were married, then our troubles would no longer plague us.”

    “Pardon?” Penelope said, heartbeat thudding in her ears.

    “Excuse me?” Colin said at the very same moment.

    Despite knowing that this is an awful idea, Penelope agrees to a marriage of convenience. She settles into an idyllic house in the countryside to await letters from her husband travelling abroad.

    Time will tell whether the marriage proves truly convenient—or something more than any of them could have anticipated.

    What if Lord Debling had proposed? What if Penelope had said yes? What if Colin never confessed his feelings?
