But no lie lasts forever. When a ghost from her past returns, armed with secrets that could destroy her, she’s forced into a game she can’t control.
The first move? A marriage forced upon her

To him—her brother’s ex-best friend. Her first mistake. The man who was her first... and then broke her heart.
Miles Whitmore.

He’s not the reckless charmer she remembers. He’s colder. Crueler. Hungrier.

Miles wants to salvage his scandal-ridden family's legacy. He needs power. He needs redemption. But he's got secrets that could destroy everything too.

Their marriage is a business deal, a show for the public. But behind closed doors?

It’s a war.

A war of lies. A war of seduction. A war of who will break first.

But the deeper they fall into their twisted game, the more hatred turns to heat. The more vengeance turns to obsession.

Because in a world where power is everything and love is the most dangerous game of all…

The biggest threat isn’t their enemies.

It’s each other.

Lavish is a steamy, high-stakes arranged marriage romance packed with angst, brother's best friend, double lives, millionaire glamour, danger at every turn, and a heroine who is headstrong. It's a interconnected standalone and may be read out of order. Perfect for readers of Dynasty, 80s soap opera and mystery. This novel contains cursing and sex scenes, and intended for audiences 18 years and older.","format",{"_19":29,"_88":110,"_111":112,"_113":48},"publisher","735 Emerald Press LLC","page_count",370,"duration","published_date","pub_date","August 6","isbn","asin","B0F2867D8P","hex_code","#181818","language","English","purchase_links",[],"playlist_links",[],"cover","https://cdn.blackauthored.com/books/3302i/da0afd32-11a5-44af-904d-a0fe080ce8cf.jpg","thumb","https://img.blackauthored.com/?preset=poster_thumb&image=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.blackauthored.com%2Fbooks%2F3302i%2Fda0afd32-11a5-44af-904d-a0fe080ce8cf.jpg","rating_distribution",{"_103":104,"_105":106},"tags",[85,86],{"_19":99,"_88":100,"_90":91,"_54":-5,"_52":101,"_93":102,"_95":96,"_97":48,"_98":50},{"_19":87,"_88":89,"_90":91,"_54":-5,"_52":92,"_93":94,"_95":96,"_97":48,"_98":50},35,"name","Second Chance","category","trope","second-chance","url","/tropes/second-chance","selectable",true,"sensitive","position",30,"Enemies to Lovers","enemies-to-lovers","/tropes/enemies-to-lovers","ratings",{},"recommend",{"_107":50,"_108":50,"_109":50},"yes","no","maybe","Kindle","type","digital","audio","California Kings","a15f9a7f-c410-4196-b8ce-99573a8c64a7","order",{"_19":118,"_88":119,"_52":120,"_121":-5,"_122":-5,"_123":124,"_125":126,"_127":96},"d344d283-0c3d-4eb7-9d73-0a960167eef4","Tinia Montford","265-tinia-montford","biography","image","books_count",6,"roles",[128],"in_catalog","author","isLoggedIn",["P",130],"result","seo",{"_13":140,"_141":142,"_54":143,"_144":145,"_93":146,"_147":148,"_149":150},"user","themePreference","light","storedTheme","gaId","G-Z1HVZ17GZ3","Blackauthored","titleTemplate","%s","Find your next Black authored read and connect with readers with the similar taste.","handle","@blackauthored","https://blackauthored.com","robots",{"_164":48,"_165":48},"jsonLd",{"_151":152,"_153":154,"_88":140,"_155":156,"_157":158,"_93":146},"@context","https://schema.org","@type","Organization","logo","https://cdn.blackauthored.com/images/og-image.png","sameAs",[159,160,161,162,163],"https://twitter.com/blackauthored","https://facebook.com/blackauthored","https://instagram.com/blackauthored","https://youtube.com/blackauthored","https://tiktok.com/@blackauthored","noIndex","noFollow"]
