Driven by Betrayal (The Origin Series)

Long before the lies, revenge, and bloodshed that would shape future generations, there was a single choice that changed everything.

Lucien Deveraux has spent his life being the disappointment. While his older brother, Alexander, carries the weight of family expectations, Lucien is free to live by his own rules. Then one unexpected note places Cecelia Sinclair in his path, and for the first time in his life, he finds something worth holding onto.

Cecelia has always done what is expected of her. Raised to follow the future carefully planned before she was even born, she never imagined one reckless decision could change the course of her life. Yet the more time she spends with Lucien, the harder it becomes to ignore the freedom she finds in his arms.

As their relationship deepens, tensions between families begin to rise, old secrets threaten to surface, and Alexander finds himself caught between loyalty, responsibility, and a truth that could destroy everything.

Some betrayals begin with a lie.

Others begin with love.

Driven by Betrayal is a dark, emotional romance filled with family conflict, forbidden love, generational secrets, and the choices that set an entire legacy in motion.
