If you love stories about powerful women who rise from the ashes and deliver ice-cold justice, then you need to read Velvet Lies by Paul Clark right away.
Yevana Narvik once built a successful empire of luxury hotels. After surviving deep betrayal and violence, she tries to disappear completely. She sells everything, moves to a simple shack in Jamaica, and hopes for a quiet life by the sea. But some ghosts refuse to stay buried. When a dangerous man from her past, the man she once called “Daddy”, tracks her down with a revolver and twisted obsession, Yevana realises that hiding is no longer possible.
This is more than just another revenge story. Paul Clark takes readers on a thrilling journey as Yevana transforms herself into something far more dangerous. With her loyal fixer Toby at her side, she moves through sun-soaked Jamaica, sophisticated Amsterdam, and the glittering fashion world of New York. Along the way, she faces psychological games, intense encounters with the mysterious Lola, and shocking twists that will keep you turning the pages late into the night.
What makes Yevana so compelling is her strength and complexity. She is not a perfect heroine she is flawed, determined, and fiercely intelligent. Clark writes her evolution brilliantly. You feel her pain, her anger, and ultimately her power as she stops running and starts hunting those who once tried to destroy her.
The novel masterfully blends dark romance, sensual tension, and high-stakes psychological thriller elements. The glamorous settings contrast sharply with raw emotion and calculated revenge, creating an addictive reading experience. Themes of female empowerment, survival, and justice run strongly throughout the story.

A bold, gripping, and unputdownable revenge thriller. Do not miss Yevana’s story.
