Crafty Deceptions

From USA Today best-selling author Parker S. Huntington comes an enemies-to-lovers, slow-burn romance full of revenge and a dash of fate. The story follows a young woman who finds herself in a precarious situation, entangled with the much-older brother of the man she had once tried to seduce.

Four years ago, the protagonist had a plan to escape the friend zone with her classmate, Reed. Step one: sneak into Reed's room. Step two: sleep with him. However, when the lights turned on, it was not Reed's familiar blue eyes she saw, but rather those of his much-older brother, Nash Prescott. These eyes were dark, angry, and full of demons.

Now, the protagonist is no longer the town's prized princess, but rather a 22-year-old who is broke and in need of a job. Meanwhile, Nash Prescott has become a 32-year-old billionaire, in need of revenge. Despite the fact that her family had ruined his, and that he looks at her with pure loathing, the protagonist needs the money. She is willing to suffer his cruelty in silence, knowing that there is one thing he wants more than revenge: her.

As the story unfolds, the protagonist navigates the complexities of this unexpected and volatile relationship. She must confront her own desires and the weight of her past actions, all while trying to survive the challenges that Nash Prescott sets before her. The narrative is a slow-burn romance, filled with tension, revenge, and a dash of fate that ultimately brings these two adversaries together.

This standalone novel is set in the Cruel Crown world, a world where the lines between love and hatred are blurred, and where the pursuit of revenge can lead to unexpected consequences. The story explores themes of power, class, and the complexities of human relationships, all while delivering a captivating and emotionally charged reading experience.
