A Taste For Lies - (The Apex Kingdom) by LC Whitehouse (Paperback)

About the Book

Alora may be a master thief, but when the beast prince recruits her for an impossible heist, she must decide if she can trust him.

Book Synopsis

Beauty and the Beast meets Netflix's Bridgerton in this seductive fantasy romance!

The best lies are mostly true.

Alora knows the Guild's Ten Rules of Spy Craft and Thieving better than anyone. But none of them prepare her for being caught by the terrifying, yet undeniably alluring, beast prince.

She can't believe it when instead of devouring her whole, he recruits her for an impossible heist.

The mark? His father, the king.

What starts as a deadly mission soon sparks a forbidden attraction. As Alora gets to know the true male behind the dangerous beast, the lines between the reluctant allies blur. With each illicit touch, their chemistry ignites, and Alora's resolve begins to falter.

To survive the heist, Alora will risk everything: her freedom, her reputation-maybe even her life. Can she trust the beast prince, or are his promises just pretty lies flavored with the truth?

Dive into a world of adventure, passion, and betrayal with A Taste for Lies, the first in the captivating Apex Kingdom Series.
