Baylor Vertigan has spent her whole life in careful shadow—the secret heiress to Vertigan Oil, the largest oil empire in Texas, shielded from cameras and public knowledge for her own protection. At twenty-two, she has poured herself into trying to be ordinary: falling for a charming, ambitious man named Archie Atweol, funneling her family's money quietly into his fledgling business, and trying—really trying—to forget that she left the love of her life behind six months ago because their families wanted the union so badly it nearly crushed them both.
She almost convinces herself it's working.
Then she overhears the conversation that shatters everything.
Archie isn't just ambitious. He's calculated. He plans to marry another woman—Regina Brimson, who has been posing as the very heiress Baylor secretly is—for wealth, power, and a naturally conceived heir he intends to abandon the moment the child is born. And Baylor? She'll never find out, because Archie believes he loves her enough to keep her as his secret.
Love without truth is just a beautiful lie.
With a week before the engagement party, Baylor makes two phone calls that will change everything. The first is to her father, Orson Vertigan, who has spent years regretting the choice to push his daughter toward the one man she always belonged to. The second is to Lincoln Worshipe—twenty-four, blonde, green-eyed, heir to the largest cattle ranch in Texas, her childhood sweetheart, the only person she has ever loved, and the man she walked away from because she needed to choose him freely or not at all.
He answers on the first ring.
PEANUT BUTTER AND LIES is a scorching Texas billionaire romance about betrayal, ambition, the cost of a secret, and two people who spent six months pretending they could live without each other. It is funny, devastating, sexually explicit, and relentlessly honest about what it means to be chosen—not because of money, family pressure, or a business arrangement, but because you are someone's whole, entire reason.
For fans of anyone who has ever watched someone choose the wrong thing and waited for the beautiful wreckage.
Genre: Romance
