The Beautiful Illusions by Georgia Cates

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

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

BEAUTIFUL ILLUSIONS DUET BOOK 1

Eighty-One Nights cover: A single pink rose in full bloom lying on a reflective gray surface, its petals mirrored below, topped by the title “Eighty-One Nights” in bold pink and white lettering and the author’s name at the bottom.
Chapter One
An escape she can’t lose. A billionaire’s rules she can’t ignore. Love wasn’t part of the deal—until it was.

Eighty-One Nights is a steamy billionaire romance from New York Times bestselling author Georgia Cates, where secrets, desire, and deception collide in a whirlwind of passion.

Maxwell Hutcheson never believed in love—until he met her. His arrangement with the beautiful and mysterious heroine was supposed to last for eighty-one nights—strictly physical, no strings attached. But Maxwell quickly realizes that his feelings for her go far beyond their initial deal. She’s unlike anyone he’s ever known, and he’s willing to risk everything to make her stay.


​But she’s hiding something. Her secrets run deep, and they threaten to unravel the intense bond they’ve formed. As desire turns into love, Maxwell finds himself torn between the truth and the woman he can’t live without. Can they survive the lies that stand between them, or will their romance burn out before it ever truly begins?

A Love Built on Lies, But Destined for Truth


Heart-pounding and provocative, the Beautiful Illusions Duet delivers a thrilling escape into a world of forbidden desire, dangerous secrets, and the kind of love that dares to rewrite the rules.
“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.
