Money. Status. Wealth. Power.
I believed I was entitled to all of it.
My legacy.
Jolie Chapman.
I thought I was entitled to her, too.
My love.
In a scandal that set our families against each other, I lost.
My legacy. My love.
Everything.
I was heir to a throne built on lies, my crown forged from corruption.
Stripped of everything I'd been raised to consider my birthright.
Including my princess—who wasn’t mine, after all.
I’ve spent the past decade rebuilding my life, on my own terms.
Money. Status. Wealth. Power.
They’ve been earned.
Now I’ve returned to Manhattan for redemption, too.
Jolie wasn’t supposed to be here.
… And I wasn’t supposed to care.
Screw me once, shame on you. Screw me twice—
Who am I kidding? I don’t believe in second chances anymore.

LEGACY OF LIES:
Is the first book within the ‘Legacy of Lies’ series by Tara Leigh. This is the follow up from the prequel ‘Throne of Lies’ where we’re first introduced to Jolie & Tripp, to understand this it is recommend that you start their story right from the beginning.
Ten years have gone by since Jolie & Tripp clapped eyes on each other, now Jolie is twenty-seven, things haven't been easy for her, and Tripp is nearing thirty, both have well paying jobs, Jolie a world class model jet setting all over Europe and embarking on a new jewelry line, and Tripp puts his past to use investigating fraud, or financial crimes like embezzlement. Now both are in New York again for good. They may not of seen each other but their love even though disguised under so much hurt and betrayal still simmered away in the background.
This was the man who had broken up with me the day after I gave him my virginity.
The day after we confessed our love for each other. An he'd done it with a text message.
A. Fucking. Text.
Their reconnection though unorthodox garnered all the feels, Tripp yet again claiming my heart.
Theirs is not a easy road back to each other though. One kissed reignited all their feelings.
Tripp and I had shared a kiss, a kiss that fused past with present.
A spine-tingling, stomach-flipping, steal-the-oxygen-from-my-lungs-kiss.
But a heartbreaking lie stood between them which could either tether them together forever or it could destroy them in the process.
The only reason why this didn’t get a 5 star rating for me was because it felt like the last chapter as it was wrapping things up felt rushed, before we knew it the ‘Epilogue’ is staring us in the face, since I was in that moment and loving all the nail biting conclusions I wanted to stay in that scene and read about the arrest and the downfall that occurred right after, their adjustment, the struggles. But other than that I really enjoyed this series. Now I’m begging that we get to read her friend Eve’s full heartbreaking story.
But all in all this series.this book, was So GOOD!! All the FEELS!! All the ANGST!! After how things ended in the previous book like others before me I couldn't wait to get my hands on this release day. And that same day I devoured it, couldn't put it down..
