ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date May 19, 2020
“There was a truth once. Truth we shared in the dark and scribed scars upon our hearts.
There was a lie once. A lie that shattered our hard-earned truth apart.”
Eleanor Grace did the unbelievable. She fell for a man who trades in women, dabbles in myth, and has the morals of a cold-hearted beast. However, love isn’t enough where past sins are concerned and only pain can follow.
Sully Sinclair did the impossible. He gave his trust to a goddess who has the ultimate power to break him. Unfortunately, paradise is just an illusion, his islands aren’t impenetrable, and now he has to pay the price.
A fledgling connection.
A war they can’t stop.
A future that doesn’t bow to fate.

REVIEW: FOURTH A LIE is the fourth instalment in Pepper Winters’ contemporary, adult GODDESS ISLES erotic, dark, romance series focusing on billionaire Sullivan Sinclair, and his captive Eleanor ‘Jinx’ Grace. The GODDESS ISLES series is set in the same world as the author’s MONSTERS IN THE DARK and the INDEBTED series. FOURTH A LIE should not be read as a stand alone as it picks up immediately after the events and cliff hanger of book three THIRD A KISS:
WARNING: Due to the graphic violence and dark content of the story line premise, there may be some triggers for more sensitive readers.
SOME BACKGROUND: At twenty-one years old, Eleanor Grace was kidnapped, violated and drugged on her way to becoming a sexual slave. A prisoner in a gilded cage, Eleanor, along with several other girls, are either the willing sexual partner in a fantasy island paradise, or find themselves forced into a lifetime of suffering and pain. Purchased by billionaire Sullivan Sinclair, Eleanor is defiant to the end but a defiance that will come with a price. Four years a slave, Eleanor is about to discover that all is not well on the island paradise or with the man who now dominates and governs every aspect of her life.
If you have not read the first three instalment, there may be some spoilers in my review.
Told from dual first person perspectives ( Eleanor and Sullivan) FOURTH A LIE picks up immediately after the events of book three wherein Sullivan Sinclair’s past, hell bent on taking control of the Goddess Isles has taken control of the island paradise, imprisoning and torturing Sullivan in the process. With most of the island security dead or missing, Sullivan is at the mercy of his captor, a demented and psychopathic mind without empathy, conscience or remorse. Believing the woman he loves is safe, Sullivan gives into his fate only to discover Eleanor has returned to save the man that she loves. Jealousy and power are at the heart of the betrayal when Sullivan must face his own demons to protect Eleanor Grace, and the islands he loves.
FOURTH A LIE is a dark, gritty, raw and graphic story of betrayal, desperation and love; a story of the dysfunctionality of malice, jealousy, and carnal desires; an intense, dramatic, and startling tragedy . Once again, Pepper Winters tears at the fragile hold on humanity leaving nothing but a shred of pain and heart break. Fourth a Lie ends on a cliff hanger-you have been warned.

Read the first chapter here!
I WAS A SCIENTIST—not because I’d been born into the lineage—but because I had an obsessive need to chase the impossible. I didn’t accept that a human body was at its full capacity in its current pathetic state.
I believed we were a battery—a machine working at thirty percent—and all we needed was a compound or chemical…something to trigger a new state of being. A stronger state, an invincible state.
Medical advances had gotten me closer to that goal.
Trials and failures had inched me closer to achieving what no one else had before.
But it was fury that shattered the threshold of evolution.
