One perfect lie. One dangerous billionaire. And an obsession that could burn it all down.

Marcus Philips is a gifted impostor with overdue rent and a lifetime of lying to survive. When he cons his way into his dream journalism job, his editor hands him a career-making assignment: infiltrate billionaire Alistair Blackwood’s inner circle.

Blackwood runs a twisted game of power and submission: pass three tests and win your heart’s desire. Fighting temptation, Marcus reminds himself he’s there to expose a predator and free the men trapped inside.

He didn’t expect Jake, a brilliant tech founder who’s as beautiful as he is compromised. Then Blackwood pulls them onto his private island, where the game turns hotter, darker, and far more personal than Marcus can fake his way through. With the final test looming, Marcus must choose between the story he’s worked for… and the man he can’t stop wanting.

The Inner Circle is a high-spice, dark romantic thriller with a hard-won HEA.
