A deadly game of cat and mouse unfolds when a housewife with a secret life takes on a tech billionaire with secrets darker than her own in Ren DeStephano's novel, A LIE FOR A LIE (Berkley).

Margaux leads a double life that would make most people dizzy. By day, she's a seemingly ordinary interior decorator with a picture-perfect marriage. By night, she works for a mysterious employer known only as Mr. X. She infiltrates the lives of dangerous targets, gaining their trust and ultimately exposing their crimes. 

Her latest Unraveling the secret life of Bertram Casimir, a billionaire tech CEO whose career is as mysterious as his past. His sister claims he stole her app to build his fortune. Not only that, his girlfriend may have gone missing recently.

He sees through her carefully constructed facade, matching her move for move. As the lines between hunter and prey blur, Margaux finds herself unexpectedly drawn to Bertram. They share more than she'd like to admit—a dangerous intelligence, a taste for high-stakes manipulation. When the evidence begins to shift, threatening to unravel everything she knows, Margaux realizes this is far more than just another job.

Her secrets—and her life—are now on the line. One lie remains, and it might just save her.


Ren DeStefano lives in Connecticut, where she was born and raised. 

When she’s not writing thrillers, she’s listening to true crime podcasts and crocheting way too many blankets.
