Publisher Description
I may not survive my first semester spying on three ruthless cartel brothers—especially when it turns out they’re bullies in more ways than one.
With my money-laundering father caught stealing from my mafia boss uncle, I’m given one chance to save my little sister and me from being forced to work off his debt in the brothels:
Enroll at Silver Hills University, seduce the three cartel brothers, and uncover the truth behind their presence in the States…without getting caught and flayed alive.
But when getting close to them requires my complete and total submission to dark desires that threaten my “good girl” image, I soon find my heart’s at risk of falling for not just one of them…but all three.
Worse? To complete my end of the bargain, I have to kill them on my uncle’s command.
Three lives for three lives. That’s the deal.
Otherwise, my father’s dead, and my little sister and I will be reduced to serving an endless line of men for the next decade.
I’m just not sure yet if that’s actually worse than what the Romero brothers have planned for me once they discover my betrayal…
Fans of Zoe Blake, Rina Kent, and Penelope Sky will love this fresh take on enemies to lovers in a dark mafia romance.

TW: Dark themes, cursing, graphic violence, arguable gaslighting and Stockholm syndrome scenarios, and a fight back against trafficking. Similar triggers to FSoG and Haunting Adeline. The existence of these themes within this novel are not an indication that these elements are romanticized; whether or not the reader finds them romantic is up to them.

Very Dark, Why-Choose, Bully Romance
I really don’t know if Ruthless Liars should be called a romance, at this point. The trigger warnings that it’s a very dark novel, are not exaggerated. It includes just about every trope on that spectrum, resulting in a fast-paced, suspense filled, introduction to the Bullies of Silver Hills University series. If dark is to your taste, you won’t be disappointed.
Betrayed by Elle’s father, her Uncle Vitale, the head of the Italian mafia, gives her a choice in repaying his debt. Either she and her younger sister can work it off in one of his brothels or Elle can spy on the head of the cartel by getting close to his three sons. Choosing the latter, she enrolls at Silver Hills University where the three boys attend classes and discovers that infiltrating the cartel isn’t going to be an easy task.

What A Start!!
Elle is forced by her uncle, a dom for the Italian mafia, to spy on the 3 sons of the head of the cartel, If she refuses, her father will be killed and she and her younger sister will be sent to a brothel until they were used up or died. So she is sent to Silver Hills University, a college made up of children of criminals, and meets the 3 brothers, Andres the oldest & the leader, Marco, Andres second, and Gus, a child-like brutal killer. She does what she can to send information to her uncle, but the brothers know what she is and plant false information and set up her uncle, time and time again. When she is caught in the act of collecting information, the brothers use her for their pleasure for revenge but find themselves wanting to know what she is hiding. Great characters, fast-paced storyline, full of sizzle, steam, action, drama, and more. I want more and cannot wait for book 2.
