Who needs love when you have money?
It used to be enough, but now it’s not.
Not since he walked into my life and made me question everything.
Now I want more, but I know that’s impossible.
Things aren’t always as they seem.
My true self is hidden, and that works for me.
Or it did.
I hide in a bed of deception to disguise myself, and I’m good at it.
Or I was.
I’m Elizabeth Fitzgerald.
I’m a Senator’s wife.
And I hate my life.
After a few minutes, he says, “I know there’s more to you, Elizabeth. I can tell there’s someone hidden inside you dying to come out. I can see it in the fake smile you show everyone, including Cal, the way you frown when you’re alone in your thoughts, and the sadness that’s lurking in your eyes. Why are you hiding?”
God help me, but there’s something in the way he speaks to me that makes me want to lay all my secrets and sins bare. He’s soft and gentle, but most importantly, I believe he wants to know more about me. He’s not asking to gain leverage or use it to his advantage, he’s genuinely concerned. And it makes me want to tell him everything. But the rational side of my brain tells me not to, so I reel in this strange impulse to divulge my secrets to a man I hardly know.
Review by Gia:
Hidden in Lies is a good read. I had trouble getting into the story at first. I think what cuased me to take a little bit more time to warm up to Elizabeth was the whole marry for money. Elizabeth has been told since she was young to marry for money. Her parents had struggled to make end meet. Elizabeth does marry for money. She's married to Cal. Call is a wealthy Senator who decides to run for President. Their marriage is a loveless one. Elizabeth stays around because she need Cal's wealth to pay for her mother's MS treatments. I wondered why Cal would stick around in a loveless marriage. Cal in the public eye in not the Cal that Elizabeth gets at home.
Alex is hired as a body guard for Elizabeth. Alex and Elizabeth are attracted to each other. Alex seems like he will be a great guy for Elizabeth. Just when I thought things were finally going to look up for Elizabeth, there is a big twist in the story. There is a crazy cliffhanger that left me wanting more. I can't wait to read the next one.
