Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

She was raised to carry her father's legacy. She was promised to a man who could save his empire. She never expected the stranger who would make her question everything.Elara Wynn has spent her life learning how to build structures that can withstand pressure. As an architect and the daughter of billionaire industrialist Magnus Wynn, she understands the mathematics of power-and the price of belonging to a family that treats everything as an asset.Now her father needs her to make the ultimate sacrifice.With Wynn Infrastructure facing financial pressure, Elara is expected to marry Callum Hartwell, the polished heir to a powerful political family. Their engagement promises to stabilize two empires, protect billions, and secure a future already designed without her consent.Then Ronan Vale appears.Quiet, controlled, and impossible to read, Ronan is hired to reinforce a hidden section of Elara's studio. What he discovers beneath its walls opens the door to something far more dangerous than family secrets.As Elara begins to uncover hidden architectures of power, corporate alliances, buried histories, and a subterranean system whose implications reach far beyond anything she imagined, the boundaries between desire, control, identity, and reality begin to collapse.The deeper she goes, the more she realizes that the greatest danger may not be the secrets others are keeping from her.It may be what those secrets reveal about the world she thought she understood-and about the man she cannot stop questioning.Gilded Lies: Deceptions of Desire is a gripping novel of forbidden attraction, corporate power, hidden systems, psychological tension, and the search for freedom when someone else has already designed your future.
