In the Beautiful Illusions Duet, Georgia Cates delivers a provocative, slow-burn romance that blurs the lines between fantasy and reality. This seductive two-book series explores power, vulnerability, and the illusion of control—where nothing is what it seems, and love is the biggest risk of all.

Eighty-one nights was only the beginning—find out what happens next in Beautiful Ever After.

A Seductive Tale of Secrets, Passion, and the Illusion of Control

Avery's life is built on survival—not love, not trust, and definitely not fairy tales. When billionaire Emmett Gray offers her an arrangement—eighty-one nights of passion with no names and no strings—she agrees, thinking it’s nothing more than a well-paid illusion.

But behind Emmett’s rules and Avery’s walls lie truths neither of them expects. Lines blur. Secrets surface. And what began as a game becomes something dangerously real.

From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Georgia Cates comes Eighty-One Nights, a sensual and addictive romance that asks what happens when the illusion begins to feel like forever.

What Readers Are Saying—
A Love Built on Lies, But Destined for Truth

“Eighty-One Nights was seductive and soul-wrecking. I couldn’t look away.”

This book gripped me from the first page. Avery and Emmett's chemistry is magnetic, their pain palpable, and the tension between them unforgettable. Every chapter was a collision of control and chaos—and I loved every second.

“Beautiful Ever After shattered me—in the best way.”

The final book gave me everything: heartbreak, healing, and heat. It was raw, messy, and utterly addicting. Avery’s transformation was inspiring, and Emmett… God, I didn’t know if I wanted to punch him or love him. Maybe both.
