In a world where secrets simmer beneath perfect smiles, When Love and Lies Collide unravels the story of hearts entangled in betrayal, longing, and redemption.

Eleanor Thorne is no stranger to loss, but nothing prepares her for the storm that arrives when Victor—the man with a haunting past and secrets of his own—re-enters her life. Bound by a love that once burned bright, they are now forced to confront the lies that tore them apart. As truths begin to surface, Eleanor finds herself caught between a love that never died and the pain that never healed.

Set against the backdrop of the mysterious Cavendish Manor, this emotionally rich tale explores how far one would go for love—and what happens when the truth finally catches up.

Will love survive the lies? Or will the past destroy any chance at a future?

When Love and Lies Collide

The night air was cool, laced with the scent of roses and lavender. Cavendish Manor’s gardens had never seemed more alive, bathed in the silver glow of the moon, the soft flicker of lanterns illuminating the winding pathways. 


Tonight, everything had to be perfect. 


I had spent the day ensuring every detail was in place—the lanterns hung just right, the table set beneath the great willow tree at the heart of the garden, the finest wine waiting, its ruby liquid shimmering in the candlelight. 


And yet, for all my careful planning, I could not calm the storm inside me. 


I was not a man who was easily unsettled. I had led men into battle, negotiated with those who sought to undermine me, made choices that changed lives without hesitation. 


And I was about to ask the only woman who had ever truly seen me to be mine forever.
