The Lies Between Us: A Dark Romance
A READERS’ FAVORITE BOOK AWARD WINNER
The truth can set you free—or destroy everything you’ve ever known.
Gracie Blackburn swore she’d never return to her hometown, but when news breaks that her estranged father, Hoyt, is on death row for the murder of her mother, she can’t stay away. Haunted by questions and unresolved memories, Gracie sets out to confront Hoyt before it’s too late. She doesn’t want to believe he’s capable of such violence, but the past has a way of twisting even the purest love into something unrecognizable.
Jori Davidson has always been Gracie’s rock. Her childhood best friend—and the one person who knows all her secrets. But Jori is hiding a devastating lie of his own, one that could tear apart the fragile trust between them.
As the truth about that night slowly unravels, Gracie is forced to face the lies buried in her family’s past and the forbidden feelings she’s long-suppressed for Jori. In the end, she must decide what’s worth the love she’s always yearned for or the answers she’s desperately seeking.
Perfect for readers who crave dark romance, forbidden love, and second-chance stories that explore the depths of heartbreak and redemption. Step into Gracie and Jori’s world—where every lie between them could be their undoing, and every truth might break their hearts.
Trigger The events and relationships portrayed in this story are not meant to condone, glorify, or encourage real-world behavior. They are taboo and intentionally uncomfortable.
