Synopsis

Stella Alonso is a shy, social-media-famous creator juggling two jobs; Christian Harper is the magnetic, dangerous owner of a cybersecurity empire who happens to live one floor above her. When a threat from Stella's past resurfaces, the two strike a fake-dating arrangement that pulls them into a tangle of surveillance, danger, and a desire that refuses to stay pretend. Told in alternating points of view, the fourth and final Twisted book is the series' darkest and most divisive: Christian is a morally grey monster in a tailored suit who watches, and quietly controls, far more than Stella realizes. The longest entry in the series, it closes out the four-friends storyline and links directly into Ana Huang's Kings of Sin world, where Christian Harper later reappears.
