Entwined Lies (Entwined #1)

Too many secrets. A blurred line between protection and possession. And a love story built on obsession, betrayal, and impossible loyalty—where no one is entirely good, nothing is truly safe, and every choice comes with a price.

ISABELLE

Twelve years ago, I made a mistake—the kind you don’t confess to your priest. One night. No names. No strings. Just heat, bad judgment, and a man I never planned to see again.

Then I found out who he was: Luca Abruzzo. Future head of the Abruzzo crime family.

So I did the smart thing—I avoided him. For years.

I built my career, raised my son, and made damn sure our paths never crossed.

I lied.

Because no matter how loud she yells or how fast she runs, some ties don’t break.

Some choices don’t undo themselves.

I’ll always be part of her life.

Whether she wants me or not.
