HIS LIES, HER TEST Book Blurb When billionaire Dominic Hughes secretly takes on the debt that’s been crushing Naomi Brooks's family, he presents her with a choice that feels impossible: marry him for a year, or watch everything her parents built crumble away ... the debt may vanish, but the danger remains. She thinks she’s trading her freedom for a ruthless man who sees her as just another asset in his sprawling empire. What she doesn’t realize is that his biggest deception isn’t why he bought her, but rather why he chose her in the first place. Beneath the sleek glass towers of Blackwood Global and the dazzling galas lies a conflict that’s been brewing for thirty years ... a legacy stolen, a girl’s tragic death misattributed, a father who faked his own demise to escape the consequences of his actions, and a bloodline neither of them knew they possessed. Dominic isn’t just shielding Naomi from scandal; he’s protecting her from a buyer who has waited sixty years to finish what he started with her murdered great-grandfather. Every kiss he shares with her conceals a truth he fears could cost her life if he dares to speak it. As their pretend marriage morphs into something achingly real, the lies meant to keep Naomi safe begin to unravel one by one: a mentor’s vendetta rooted in a lie he never questioned, a trusted advisor who let a man burn and called it survival, a mother’s decades of complicity masked as protection, and a brother whose fear turned him into an unwitting weapon. And beneath it all lies a conspiracy that stretches from a private island’s hidden past to a boardroom coup unfolding in real time ... orchestrated by a chilling mastermind who has been three steps ahead of everyone all along. Naomi entered this marriage determined not to be bought. She never anticipated facing tests of her own ... grief she didn’t know she had inherited, a family history that’s far more complex than mere victim or villain, and a man who must repeatedly choose between the control that has always kept him safe and the raw, vulnerable honesty that could finally set them both free. His lies were a shield. Her test is whether love can endure what lies beneath.
