Part of Series
Friend. Lover. Businessman. Liar. Guil never breaks a promise. Especially not one to a friend who dies in his arms. He’ll do whatever he has to in order to keep his promises, even if it means lying to the woman he loves. Sister. Daughter. Artist. Innocent. Lyla has been in love with Guil for years, but he only thinks of her as his friend’s little sister. With her brother’s death, things have changed—and so has she. She goes after what she wants, putting everything at risk. Lies. Passion. Betrayal. Love. Guil is no match for Lyla once she lets herself be bold and brave. Their passion and love consume them until he has to keep his promise, and then it all falls apart. Betrayal and the lies he’s forced himself to tell destroy everything beautiful they’ve created as he plots his revenge. When the sins of the past collide with the promise of the future, can they trust their love—or will it all be over soon after it begins?
Author
2018 RWA Steffie Walker Bookseller of the Year 2016 RT Creative Initiatives Award Crystal Perkins has always been a big reader, but she never thought she would write her own book, until she sat down in 2014 and did it. She's now published over 40 books, and has been featured in several anthologies as well. She lived in Las Vegas for over a decade, where you could find her running author events and winning bookseller awards. She's was recently living in North Dakota to be closer to her family, but she is back in Vegas. When she's not reading a few hundred books a year or chasing after her grandson, you can find her watching hockey (Go Knights Go!) and trying to find the perfect shade of lipstick. She loves Star Wars AND Star Trek, but if pushed to choose, it will always be Leia and her crew who come out on top. Her love of all things nerdy comes through in her book characters, no matter the genre. A mac and cheese connoisseur, she travels the world looking for the perfect version, while attending book conventions and signings as a cover for her research. Poutine research is also conducted regularly on her trips. Her first series, The Griffin Brothers, followed four billionaire brothers, and the third book, Creating a Love, was a finalist for a multicultural award in 2014. Her second series, Corrigan & Co. featured a secret society of female spies in Las Vegas. She followed this with Society Girls, which offered a glimpse into the training of the women who are recruited into the Corrigan & Co. Foundation, and the Society. The Company Men series featured the relatives of her secret society of spies. Activate is a Young Adult Sci-Fi standalone novel, and A Kiss Is Just a Kiss is a Romantic Comedy standalone book. If you like something darker, you can find her Horror short stories in the Never Fear anthologies! She’s currently writing about modern day witches in her Burn series, and bridesmaids for hire who solve mysteries in The Maids! In 2020, she will also be starting a hockey novella series. Crystal loves hearing from her readers, so please feel free to send her an email, Facebook message, or Tweet! She's also on Instagram, where you can see her monthly reads!
