Discover the million-copy No. 1 bestselling thriller of the year with author Ashley Elston, as she unravels the secrets behind First Lie Wins—the thriller that's captivated Reese Witherspoon, Hulu executives, and readers worldwide.

At a party with her fiancé Ryan Sumner, Evie Porter is not looking for trouble. But trouble has found her.

A woman approaches. She's using her name. And Evie knows it's a warning.

Because Evie Porter is not her real name. It's her job.

Ryan Sumner is not her future husband. He's her target.

And this woman showing up now can only mean one thing. Her employer is watching. One mistake and she's dead.

To save herself, and escape her employer for good, Evie must set the last perfect trap. Which means using herself as bait...

From debut thriller to global phenomenon, First Lie Wins has captured readers worldwide, earning spots on Amazon Books' Best Mysteries & Thrillers of 2024 and Audible's Top 20 Best of the Year.

Ashley will reveal the art behind her intricate game of deception, sharing her creative process, the thrill of a Hulu adaptation, and her remarkable journey from first draft to overnight sensation.
