Love, Lessons, Lies, and the Game of Life Book 1

The Beginning

Marie thought her life couldn’t get more complicated after her whirlwind romance with Marcellus, her high school sweetheart. But a decade later, her world is anything but simple. Still holding onto her relationship with Marcellus, Marie finds herself swept off her feet by Dupree—a charming, mysterious figure with a dangerous edge. Neither man knows about the other, and Marie is caught in a delicate web of deception she’s carefully crafted.

Juggling two relationships would be messy enough, but both Marcellus and Dupree bring their own chaos. Marcellus has a girlfriend he conveniently hides until Marie stumbles into their space. Meanwhile, Dupree’s mysterious past and old flames threaten to resurface, throwing Marie’s carefully balanced life into disarray. Marie keeps both men wrapped around her finger, making each believe they are the only one, never questioning the depth of her secrets.

As her double life spirals, Marie must confront her choices and figure out what and who truly matters. Will she maintain control, or will her world come crashing down, leaving heartbreak and chaos in its wake?

In this emotional rollercoaster of love, betrayal, and tangled relationships, nothing is as it seems. With twists and turns at every corner, this gripping tale explores the complexities of love and the lengths we go to protect our hearts.
