Leasey Crespo: Lies of Consent, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

A romance built on choice. A system built on optimization. And a quiet lie that promises safety.

Chase Wright has built a good life by staying independent. A self-made lawyer in a small Connecticut town, he believes freedom is preserved by staying unremarkable. When a charismatic corporate executive returns into his life offering protection, influence, and opportunity, the deal feels generous-almost friendly.

Amelia Winters is content with her life and cautious of anything that arrives disguised as rescue. When she and Chase reconnect after years of unfinished feeling, they choose to try again-just as the world around them begins to watch more closely.

As local businesses are absorbed, relationships are reframed as assets, and intimacy becomes measurable, Chase and Amelia find themselves living inside a system that never demands consent outright-it simply assumes it.

Lies of Consent is a character-driven speculative romance about autonomy, surveillance, and the quiet cost of being "taken care of."
