From USA Today Bestselling Author Gail Haris, comes a small town romance full of twists and suspense. This coming of age story about heartache, self-discovery, and passion. Perfection is an illusion… And I’ve perfected the art of lying when it comes to keeping up appearances. Randall is more than just a family name in our small town; it’s its own identity, and as the youngest daughter, I’ve done my best to stay out of the limelight. But in doing so, I’ve become a shell of the person I want to be. I’m not the spoiled Randall princess they all think I am, despite what the whole town thinks. I’m hiding behind my insecurities, being held captive by my secret addiction, until my older brother’s best friend sees through, not just my lies, but my entire façade. What began as blackmail has him getting far too close, blurring and crossing lines, and with each layer of clothing removed, a new want is uncovered. I’m drowning in lies, but what if revealing my true desires costs me everything? ** This book is strongly recommended for 18+. **originally published as The Blackmail of Denise Randall
