The Scent of a Lie

By Viktor Brooks

Cha Min-jun, the cold, brilliant heir of Atelier Cha, lives for the precise science of luxury scent. He's trapped by a crushing family debt and obsessed with control. Gong Tae-oh is Min-jun's polar opposite: the charming, sunshine-bright artisan of Wick & Whimsy, who sells simple, heartfelt candles-pure chaos in a velvet jacket.

Forced into a high-stakes holiday collaboration to save Min-jun's legacy, their opposing worlds ignite a scorching enemies-to-lovers war. But when their professional rivalry sparks a dangerous, undeniable desire, they uncover a terrifying truth: the debt, the betrayal, and the entire Christmas launch are a calculated scheme orchestrated by a hidden enemy who wants to steal Min-jun's company and destroy Tae-oh's integrity.

Now, with a final, public Performance of Desire scheduled for Christmas Eve, they must choose between the perfect lie that saves the company and the reckless truth that saves their love.
