Publisher Description
““I met the man I wanted. But then he vanished, and a new man claimed me instead. My father approved, my colleagues congratulated, and behind closed doors, I was bedded by a stranger.”
Noelle Charlston lives a fairy-tale life: a doting father, a powerful job, and a future blessed with financial security.
However, two meetings with two men changes her happy existence forever. First, she meets the man who makes her heart sing. Three years later, she meets the man who makes her blood quiver.
Broken-hearted from a teenage romance, Noelle’s freedom is no longer hers. It belongs to the stranger her father believes is her perfect match. The stranger who pulls his lies over everyone he touches.
Including her.
Seduced and manipulated, Noelle gives into the mysterious Penn Everett. The lies he spins, the truth he hides, the mystery he weaves—it’s all enough to slowly erode the woman she is and turn her into something else.
Until her past collides with her present.
And it’s her turn to lie.
To everyone…including herself.

I'm such a massive Pepper Winters fan and this blew me away.
The writing seems to captivate you and you get lost in the story because the words just flow and make you take in each one.
Noelle aka Elle's character I loved, she is strong when needed but is somewhat naive in other ways. She leads somewhat of sheltered life until she takes it upon herself to see life on her own on her 19th birthday, but this only brings her into danger, or does it?
Sometimes meeting a "nameless" stranger can have more of an impact on your life,even more when it's people you've known for years, this is what happens to Elle. "Nameless" awakens something within Elle.
Fast forward three years and Penn Everett comes into Elle's life, he makes her promises "I won't lie to you". Penn reminds Elle of "Nameless" and again Penn brings something out in Elle.
For me I was in a love/hate with Penn, he is delicious, he's everything and more until he made you doubt him and yourself.
This is the perfect book, the writing, the twists and all the things that has you questioning yourself, it's dark with deceptions of who wears the Crown of Lies the best and tortures you with the mystery of what is going to happen next and I can't wait for the conclusion, because for now I'm still on a high.
