Twisted Lies: A Enemies to Lovers Billionaire Romance (Dirty Secrets Book 1) Kindle Edition
Unleash your heart’s desire with Twisted Lies – the captivating tale of a fierce fashionista and a tantalizing tycoon entangled in a dangerous dance of love, betrayal, and vengeance.
Sinthia Michaels, an ambitious starlet of the fashion world, is on the brink of achieving everything she’s worked for. But when the intoxicating and enigmatic Core McKay strides into her life, everything changes. Once a kingpin in New York City’s menacing underworld, he’s now a millionaire businessman with secrets darker than the city’s shadowed alleys.
Their connection is instant, their chemistry explosive. But this is more than just a fiery romance – it’s a chess match where every move could lead to ecstasy or ruin. In his quest for retribution against a depraved politician, Core weaves a web of treachery and deceit. He sees Sin as the perfect pawn in his dangerous game – but he didn’t anticipate the passion that ignites between them.
The world of fashion is ruthless, politics are savage, and the criminal underworld? It’s merciless. Yet, Sin didn’t claw her way to the top without learning to scratch back. Even if it means fighting the man she’s hopelessly falling for.
Will their explosive affair lead to love...or a deadly endgame?
Dive into Twisted Lies, a tantalizing tale of desire, revenge, and redemption that will leave you breathless and begging for more. Don’t wait - let Twisted Lies capture your heart today!

- Reviewed in the United States on April 24, 2023I've read several books written by Sedona Venez; she is becoming one of my favorite authors. I can’t wait to read more of her books.
This is the first book in the Dirty Secrets Series; it is the beginning of a new series. The story is continues in the next book and needs to be read in order.

- Reviewed in the United States on April 13, 2023This was an entertaining Novella that introduces us to Core and Sin. Both are closed off due to trauma suffered in their pasts. Core is wealthy whereas Sin has always struggled and been on her own. Core brings her into his orbit to use in his quest for revenge but both may be getting more than they expected. Since this is just the start of their story, we got to know them and a bit about their backstories (more so for Sin than Core) but they only have one brief introduction in the book. I am looking forward to the next book in the series to find out more.

- Reviewed in the United States on February 20, 2022This book is the origin story for the FMC Sinthia. She's determined to make her way in the world after being pushed out by her uncaring mother with no help or resources. Her talent as a fashion designer has her on the cusp of success but she is haunted by an ex lover who is stalking her and now the seedy billionaire investor is going to crush her to satisfy his own ambition. And that's where the story ends on a cliffhanger.
Unfortunately I want pulled in enough by any of the character to continue the series. The story was a bit choppy, and though we learned a bit about the main character and her friend I don't feel a connection enough to be compelled to continue.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 3, 2018Sedona Venez did a great job on Twisted Lies. The story has a great plot and it was well written. Sin and Core were strong characters, they have been through a lot. They were great together. Their connection and chemistry was strong. Sin and Core were good for each other. I'm looking forward to reading more. I enjoyed this story. Thank you, Sedona Venez. Great work :)
- Reviewed in the United States on August 3, 2018When I agreed to review this as an ARC for Booksprout (which has not affected my rating of this book), I didn't realize that it was only a little over 100 pages and a "part 1" vs. a "book 1." For me, "book 1" implies that it is a complete book; "part 1" implies that it is the first part of a book to be continued in a second book. So if you are thinking that this is a complete novel, it is not. It ends in a cliffhanger and cannot be considered a standalone. That said (I put this out here first to let everyone know what I didn't and what I feel is misleading in the way it is titled), that is my only complaint about this book. It hooks the reader from the very start and leaves her riveted until the end to see what happens next. This is a very quick-moving read, and since it is about 100 pages, it is easily accomplished in one sitting. There are some "dark" aspects to it, so please be forewarned that there may be triggers for some. I always find it a little ridiculous that people read a book where the content is clearly noted with descriptors such as "dark," or "potentially triggering," or "intended for an 18+ audience as there is explicit content" and still end up leaving a poor review BECAUSE the descriptors provided are accurate. If you don't enjoy a little darkness in your romance, this is not for you. If you DO enjoy a little "dark and twisty" (a little nod to "Grey's Anatomy"), then you will enjoy this. It begins pretty hot and heavy, but the rest of the book is mainly story and character building leading into the next one. I am anxious to read the next installment now that I have finished this one -- I want to know what happens next! :)

Core and Sinthia story. This is the beginning of their story and it’s amazing so far! I loved the characters as we learned more about them. Can’t wait to see more from this author.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 13, 2021This was a great start to a great series. I’m not the best writer of reviews but I know what I like. I read a minimum of 25 books a month. I love Selena’s writing style. The story lines, plots and characters are always entertaining. She really draws you into the book. It makes you almost feel like you’re there. This isn’t the first book I’ve read and won’t be the last of Selena’s books I will read. I’ve read the entire series and I wasn’t disappointed.

I have already read several books by the author Sedona Venez and every time I think no other book can compare to the others I read, but she has surprised me again. The story of Sinthia and Kern keeps you glued to your pages from start to finish.

5.0 out of 5 stars Genial
Lo he devorado de una sentada.
Syn es una joven que abandona a su madre para estudiar la carrera de sus sueños y ahora, años más tarde, parece que está a punto de conseguir todo lo que quiere. Pero un misterioso inversor aparece en escena y acaba poniéndola entre la espada y la pared.
Me voy a leer inmediatamente el siguiente libro para ver cómo continúa la historia.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great first book of the Dirty Secrets series.....
Rereading this as I have been sent an ARC of Book 3.
Sinthia, a hard working but downtrodden girl has to contend with the death of her father, her greedy unloving mother and a broken heart from her first love. But Sin has a plan, a future and things are finally looking great when Core McKay throws her plans into free fall.
Core McKay, has put his life of crime behind him and is now a successful business man, but he is far from innocent when he goes after what he wants. With his trusted friends beside him he is looking for the man who killed his mother years ago. Finally he has found a lead to his quarry - through Sinthia's business.
When they finally meet the sexual tension between them is intense, Core wants her but will she want him when he takes what is precious to her...her business.
Well worth reading --- you are left wanting more --- much more!
