TRUST is deeper than LOVE.
Does Shai think I can trust him now? After he's taken me captive in my own home?
Rising fashion photographer, Maya Alexander, would be the first to admit she's never had the best record when it comes to love. But when she fatefully runs into Shai, a handsome but shy art procurer from Mumbai, on the trails of London's Victoria Park, everything Maya thought she knew about love changes.
She dives in deep until a mysterious gentleman inquiring about Shai's whereabouts raises questions for Maya she never thought to ask. When she approaches Shai, news of the gentleman sends him over the edge, and it isn't long before she's persuaded that the only thing deep about their relationship is the well of dark secrets Shai has been keeping. Maya questions if Shai is really the man she thought she knew. Can he be trusted?
Caught in a web of lies and betrayal, Maya quickly learns the faces of love and danger aren't that different, but only time will tell which is true and which is rogue.
Fall captive to a spellbinding tale of deceit and determination as you learn how trust is deeper than love in Rogue Lens -- Book I of the Rogue Series.
