What Devious Lies is like to read

A revenge-driven billionaire romance with a heavy class-conflict backbone and a slow, antagonistic burn between a fallen princess and the boy her family destroyed. Expect torment-as-tension and simmering forbidden pull rather than tender courtship. Best for: readers who want angsty enemies-to-lovers with billionaire/age-gap and revenge tropes stacked high.
