Broken Lies

RILEY

My family is trying to marry me off to a monster.

A much older monster who’ll pay extra for my virginity.

There’s no way I’m going through with this so I do the only thing I can think of.

I turn to the enemy for help.

Kieran Sullivan seems to hate me for some reason.

So when his brother, Ronan, suggests a fake marriage between Kieran and I,

I’m hesitant.

But I have no other choice.

Sullivan’s need my help as much as I need theirs.

I have evidence that can help them catch their father’s killer.

Falling for Kieran is the last thing on my mind.

I don’t realize what’s happening until it’s too late.

Just when I think things couldn’t get messier,

I see those two little pink lines on the pregnancy test.

KIERAN

There’s something about Riley that I don’t trust.

She holds the key to finding out who killed my father,

information she refuses to hand over until she feels safe.

I agree to be in a fake marriage, even though I’m against it.

I thought pretending to be in love with her would be easy,

I thought there was no chance I’d develop feelings for her.

Turns out, I was wrong.

Now everything I thought I never needed is at risk of slipping away from me.
