~ SYNOPSIS ~
The man who saved her is
also the man who destroyed her… or is he?
Seven years ago, I decided I wanted to be a
fighter. Marcus Roma showed me how.
Six years ago, my parents died in a car
accident. Marcus Roma picked me up off the ground and held me until I could
stand on my own two feet.
Five years ago, I fell in love with him.
And then Marcus Roma disappeared. No warning. No
explanation. Just gone.
Yesterday, he came back.
And now I have to decide who’s telling the truth,
and who’s lying. Who wants something from me, and who wants…
Me.
If I guess wrong, I could lose everything. I
need to think clearly. But Marcus makes that impossible. Marcus makes me weak.
Marcus makes me want, in a way I’ve never felt before.
Marcus Roma will make me fall. The only question
is—will he be there to catch me this time?
LIE TO ME
is a new adult / adult contemporary romance novel about truth, lies, and
redemption. It is not intended for readers under the age of 18.

~ EXCERPT ~
I
am so angry I can barely see, and I want him so badly it actually, physically
hurts. Like the absence of him inside me aches.
I’m
pulling at his shirt now, twisting it, and Marcus’s fingers are digging into my
waist, pushing under the waistband of my shorts, almost like they have a mind
of their own. They must, because Marcus himself is rock solid and rigid, his
body riddled with tension, his muscles working with restraint.
“Lo,”
he whispers, shaking his head.
“I
don’t want to have to think about this anymore,” I say. “Please just help me to
feel something else. Please.”
His
thumb sweeps along the inside of my waistband, coming around the front, dipping
low so that I shudder, even while the muscles in his shoulders pop and it looks
like he’s struggling.
I
want to scream.
I
do.
I
rip at his shirt; I go for the buttons on his jeans. I say, “I don’t want to be
scared of being broken forever because you fucking broke me…”
I
think he’s about to snap and finally take me when his hands move, lightning
fast, and grab mine, pinning them to the table. Marcus is breathing heavy, his
whole body hard and alive and pulsing between my legs as I sit on this stupid
table, and when he looks at me, it’s with a fierce hunger.
“Not
until you tell the truth,” he says. “Not until you say why.”
I
know exactly what he means. He can still see through me.
“Because
I hate that it’s you that does this to me,” I say. “Why does it have to be you?
I hate that it’s you that makes me feel this. I hate you, Marcus, because I…”
Because
I love him. But I can’t say it.
He’s
leaning into me now, his head close to mine. He’s smelling me. I can feel his
lips move along my jaw, my ear, my neck…
“Please
don’t make me say the rest,” I say. “You already know the truth, you bastard.”
One
hand moves to the back of my head, the other to my hip, and I can already feel
the complete control he has over my body. Like he’s just deciding. Feeling it
out, the way he does.
I
hate him so much for making me love him.
“Marcus,
I need you to—”
He
doesn’t let me finish. With a growl, he threads his fingers through my hair and
pulls my head back, his face hovering just above mine. For a beat his eyes
pierce mine and I see what I feel echoed there: a wild need, a fierce, burning
fever, the desperation of needing someone you can’t have.
And
then when it happens, it happens all at once: his mouth crushing mine, his hand
pushing into my shorts, beneath my underwear, his fingers sliding between my
wet folds, and then his hand gripping me there. He stops for a moment, as
though just wanting to establish ownership, and his tongue parts my lips
savagely. I moan into his mouth and grapple at his shoulders, trying to get him
to move, to just do it already, because I feel like I might burst, but he’s the
one in control, and that drives me even higher. His other hand tightens its
grip on my hair, and he takes what he wants, kissing me deeply until I yield to
it, until I’m not thinking about anything at all.

~ ABOUT CHLOE COX ~
I love to tell stories. I especially love romance, only with all the good and sexy parts left in, and sometimes with a little kink, too. I cry at the dumbest commercials, I hide behind the nearest person during scary movies (and then make them tell me what’s going on), and I spend way too much money sending my friends gag gifts. (Amazon Prime free shipping is a dangerous, dangerous thing.)
So aside from feeling compelled to sit at my computer and make stuff up all day, I’m an otherwise normal gal navigating life, family, love and the rest. I am also a voracious, omnivorous reader, a disastrous cook (recipes are at best just suggestions), and the human who belongs to two bat%$&! insane cats.
