The Room Behind The Lie
Six days before her wedding, Nia Carter watches her fianc walk into a hotel room with her sister.
The video arrives while Marcus stands behind her, fastening her wedding necklace.
Nia built Carter Glow to escape her family's ruined name. With a thriving beauty business and a powerful fianc , she finally has something nobody can take from her.
Then Darius Knox comes back.
Her former lover. The man she publicly accused of stealing from her family. The one person who can still get close enough to hurt her.
Darius says Marcus has turned their wedding into a business deal-and Nia's signature is already on the paperwork.
When project funds freeze and armed men tear through her salon, a private betrayal becomes a fight for everything she owns. Following the evidence means trusting Darius, questioning her sister, and facing what her own family buried years ago.
But Darius has secrets, too. And the attraction between them could compromise the judgment Nia needs to survive.
Across Chicago, hotel recordings, stolen files, and an old family account draw her toward a truth someone is willing to kill to protect.
Then a photograph surfaces.
It was taken inside her bedroom.
Someone has been closer than she ever imagined.
The Room Behind the Lie is an adult urban romantic thriller about dangerous attraction, family betrayal, financial manipulation, and the cost of confronting a lie you once helped protect.
