Sealed With A Lie

When Nadia Voss blurts out the word fiancé at a black-tie gala to escape her ex, she doesnt expect the stranger at her elbow to play along — or to pull her aside afterward and offer her a deal. Callum Rhys, CEO of one of New Yorks most powerful investment firms, needs a convincing engagement for six weeks. Nadia needs the funding that could save the arts foundation she built from nothing. The terms are clean, the timeline is fixed, and the arrangement is strictly professional. The problem is 845 Park Avenue, where they are now sharing space — and the Hamptons estate where his dying father asks the kind of quiet, pointed questions that have no safe answers. The problem is that Callum notices everything, remembers everything, and has never once looked at her like shes a variable. Sealed with a Lie is a slow-burn, dark-and-gritty fake-dating romance set against the money and art of Manhattans upper world a story about two people who were performing for everyone else until, suddenly, they werent.
