She was never mine to want. That didn’t stop me.
At Montclaire Academy, she’s untouchable. Beautiful. Vicious. Worshipped by people who don’t know she bleeds. But I know. I know every sound she makes when she forgets to hate me. Every secret she tried to bury. Every pretty lie she told to make me leave.
I should stay away. Instead, we’re forced to work together. Fighting over essays. Trading insults in empty halls. Getting too close to the truth, and to each other.
Belle says she doesn’t want me. Her body keeps proving her wrong.
And if I’m not careful, I’ll burn down both our futures just to touch her again.
Every Pretty Lie is a dark, emotional enemies-to-lovers romance with second-chance angst, elite academy drama, forbidden love, class tension, forced proximity, family secrets, and a hard-won happily ever after.
