Wicked Truths
by Jodi Ellen Malpas
2020
After fleeing Becker Hunt’s dangerous world, Eleanor knows better than to go back. But their chemistry and the mysteries around the Hunt legacy pull her in again, forcing them to face deadly enemies and decide what they are willing to risk for each other.
Artful Lies
by Jodi Ellen Malpas
2020
Art history lover Eleanor Cole lands a dream job at the Hunt Corporation and a nightmare of a boss in Becker Hunt, charming, infuriating, and far too interested in her. As she uncovers the family’s illicit secrets, desire and danger become impossible to separate.
Series background & context
The Hunt Legacy Duology trades crowns for canvases. In Artful Lies, aspiring antiques dealer Eleanor Cole lands a dream job at the prestigious Hunt Corporation, only to discover that working closely with its enigmatic head, Becker Hunt, is far more complicated than cataloguing priceless artefacts.
Becker has a reputation in London’s art world: brilliant, reckless, and used to getting exactly what he wants. On the surface he is Eleanor’s charming, infuriating boss. Beneath that polished exterior lie secrets about how the Hunts built their collection and what Becker does after hours to protect, or expand, it.
The more Eleanor uncovers, the more she realises the man she is falling for sits on the wrong side of the law. Their relationship becomes tangled up with thefts, hidden vaults, and a family legacy that blurs the line between curator and criminal. Walking away would keep her safe, but it would also mean giving up both her career and the man who finally makes her feel alive.
Wicked Truths continues their story, forcing Eleanor and Becker to confront the full danger of his world and decide whether they can build any kind of future on top of so many lies.
The tone here mixes slow-burn workplace tension with high-stakes romantic suspense. Expect late-night chases through galleries, obsessive chemistry, and a hero whose flirtation masks genuine vulnerability. If you like your romances wrapped in mystery and a touch of art-heist glamour, this duet delivers.
