Tides of Deceit
Book 2 in the Waves of Sorrow Series
By E.L. Beth
Chloe Stewarts lives by one rule—men are good for two things: falling for her and funding her escape. With a wicked smile and a flawless act, she plays her marks like instruments—drug them, rob them blind, and disappear without a trace. It's worked every time. Until Elijah Fortia.
Elijah isn’t like the others. He’s not some clueless rich boy—he’s hardened, tormented, and desperate to break free from the chokehold of his criminal brother. One final job, a briefcase full of dirty money, and he’d be free. That was the plan—until Chloe walked into his life, turned on the charm… and vanished with everything.
Waking up alone and broke, Elijah sees red. If he doesn't return the money, he’s dead. Finding Chloe is his only option—and when he does, vengeance is the last thing he feels. She’s dangerous. Addictive. And somehow, she becomes the only calm in his chaos.
Chloe swears she didn’t steal from him. Elijah believes her, because it’s easier than admitting the truth: he’s falling for the thief who ruined his life. But every lie has a consequence—and when Chloe finally confesses, the tidal wave of betrayal might be one neither of them can survive.
When love is born in a lie, the truth can drown you.
WARNING: THIS BOOK IS RECOMMENDED FOR READERS AGED 18 YEARS AND OLDER. IT CONTAINS SEX AND SUBMISSION.
