Twisted Lies by Ana Huang: Spicy Chapters, Reviews & Free Download
Story Summary
Twisted Lies follows Stella Alonso, a soft-spoken social media influencer trying to outrun a dangerous stalker, and Julian Harlow, the mysterious billionaire CEO who offers her protection — for a price. When Stella needs a fake boyfriend to boost her image and safety, Julian volunteers, but his motivations run far deeper than he admits.
As their arrangement blurs into real desire, Julian’s obsessive protectiveness grows. Stella learns he’s far more dangerous than he looks — and he will burn the world down before letting anyone hurt her. The story blends fake dating, forced proximity, hidden identities, and dark romance tension that grows chapter by chapter.

The infamous boat scene occurs in Chapter 30.
Chapter 24 – First Kiss & Heat
A fake-dating moment turns real when Julian cups Stella’s face and kisses her slowly. She pulls him closer, and he pins her lightly against the wall. Their breathing deepens as he lifts her thigh, but they stop before it goes further.
“He kissed me like he’d been starving for the taste of me.”
Chapter 27 – Bedroom Tension
Julian and Stella are arguing when he steps forward, grabs her waist, and pulls her flush against him. They kiss again, harder. Julian’s hands run up her sides, and she threads her fingers in his hair. They break apart when the moment overwhelms her.
“I melted into him before I could think.”
Chapter 30 – The Boat Scene
This is the most famous scene in the book. On Julian’s private yacht, Stella admits she wants him. He lifts her onto the counter and kisses her deeply. They undress each other slowly before moving to the bed. The scene fades out with implied explicit intimacy.
“He looked at me like he owned every inch of me.”
Chapter 37 – Reunion Heat
After a separation, Stella and Julian crash back together. He pulls her into his lap, kissing her like he’s afraid to lose her again. Their bodies press together as he lays her back on the couch. They touch each other through clothes until they can’t think.
“I clung to him like he was the only solid thing in the world.”
Chapter 41 – After the Rescue
Following Stella’s kidnapping, Julian refuses to let her out of his sight. He kisses her fiercely in the bedroom, lifting her into his arms. She wraps her legs around him as he carries her toward the bed. The scene fades just as he lays her down.
“I heard my name on his lips like a vow.”
