Empire of Lies

Isabella Taylor's future was decided before she even finished her morning coffee. Delivered on a silver breakfast tray, sealed with black wax and drafted in bloodless legal font, the news was undeniable: she is not entering a romance, but a corporate consolidation. For twenty years, the Taylor and Bell families have waged a ruthless private war behind a facade of public civility. Now, to stabilize assets and reassure investors, Isabella's brother Matthew has brokered the ultimate merger-and Isabella's arranged marriage to Grayson Bell is the ribbon tying the transaction together. Stripped of her consent and handed a meticulously scheduled engagement, Isabella refuses to be a simple pawn in her family's boardroom games. Empire of Lies is a captivating tale of power, wealth, and high-society deceit. Listen as Isabella navigates a world where marriages are calculated, alliances are fragile, and panic is a weapon saved for enemies.
