The Lies We Promise

They promised their families a perfect union.

Luca's worst nightmare has come true—his father has chosen his bride. In Paradise's tight-knit Italian community, arranged marriages are tradition, even in the twenty-first century.

The plan is simple: pretend to be in love, play the perfect couple, and bide their time until they can walk away free. But lies have a dangerous way of turning into something real. With every stolen glance, every heated argument, and every kiss that shouldn't happen, their "arrangement" becomes harder to resist.
