The marriage was fake. The federal case was real. The feelings were the part nobody planned for.
Nico Valentino is the youngest brother, the hacker, the one who smiles while dismantling your entire digital life. When the family needs a legal shield, he proposes a fake marriage to Aria — the brilliant outside counsel who's been pretending she barely tolerates him for three years.
Aria doesn't do feelings. She does strategy, preparation, and airtight closing arguments. Marrying Nico is a tactical decision. The way he smells is irrelevant. The way he sees through every wall she builds is a complication she'll manage.
She wrote the rules. He broke every single one.
But fake proximity becomes real confession at two in the morning. Strategy sessions become arguments that end in the kind of honesty neither of them was prepared for. And when a corrupt federal agent threatens to unravel everything — the case, the family, and the lie they've been telling themselves about what this marriage actually is — Nico and Aria will have to decide if the deepest lie was the one they told the court, or the one they told each other.
The Deepest Lie is a full-length standalone mafia romance with a fake marriage, a hacker hero, explicit steam, and an HEA. Book 4 in The Valentino Kings series.
Genre: Romantic Suspense
