Klappentext

I'm not punishing you. I'm protecting you.

Colson

After my addict mother steals most of my savings, I move into my cousin's college apartment, knowing it'll keep everyone out of my business with Harrison Height's most known drug dealer.

However when I stumble into the wrong bathroom during a party, it doesn't take me long to realize that Violet is all the good I've never had in my life. As much as wanting her consumes me, I can't let myself have her. Not when I'm buried beneath a life that would show her just how much we don't belong.

Violet

After the worst summer of my life, I return to Chatham U closed off. My focus is on my classes, my job at the daycare, and trying my best to ignore how my friends and I are growing apart.

Then there's the new guy in our friend group who I'm drawn to despite our unconventional meeting. He's gorgeous, mysterious, and...completely closed off.

Somehow he sees more than I want him to. It's obvious he's hiding something, but I also know that whatever it is, he needs me. Maybe more than I need him.

Beneath the Lies is a full-length new adult, college romance with hints of corruption, binge-worthy drama, and slow burn angst. Recommended for 18+. TW: Corruption, drug use, sexually explicit scenes, violence (incl. body mutilation).
