A Court of Verity and Lies: A spicy enemies to lovers fae fantasy (Royal Fae of Arathay) by Zara Dusk

A kingdom divided by secrets. A fae prince who demands the truth. And a lie that could destroy us both. In my homeland, lies are currency, greed is power, and indulgence is a way of life.

Everything falls apart when I'm caught sneaking through Prince Thorne’s chambers. He’s ruthless, infuriatingly honorable, and determined to unearth every secret I hide.
