What happens when passion and deception collide in the heart of Europe? Love and Lies in Vienna is a clean, page-turning romantic suspense set against glittering Vienna and the high-stakes world of a prestigious New York exhibition-where love may be real, but not everything is what it seems.
Elena Weiss has lost her job and sees no way out of her mounting debts. Desperate, she takes risks that lead her down a dangerous path. When she meets Matthias Gruber, a successful Helios director with access to places she could never reach alone, she finds both opportunity and unexpected affection. To him, she is a chance at love; to her, he may be the key to a daring plan that could change her life forever.
As Vienna's golden streets give way to New York's glittering exhibition halls, their relationship deepens-but so do the secrets between them.
