Producdescription of All the Lies We Tell (Quarry Road Book 1)
This sexy romantic drama from New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Megan Hart explores the tangled lives—and loves—of childhood friends.
Everyone knew Alicia Harrison’s marriage to Ilya Stern wouldn’t last. They’d grown up on a remote stretch of Quarry Street, where there were two houses, two sets of siblings, and eventually, a tangled mess of betrayal, longing, and loss. Tragedy catapulted Allie and Ilya together, but divorce—even as neighbors—has been relatively uncomplicated.
Then Ilya’s brother, Nikolai, comes home for their grandmother’s last days. He’s the guy who teased and fought with Allie, infuriated her, then fled town without a good-bye. Now Niko makes her feel something else entirely—a rush of connection and pure desire that she’s been trying to quench since one secret kiss years ago. Niko’s not sticking around. She’s not going to leave. And after all that’s happened between their families, this can’t be anything more than brief pleasure and a bad idea.
But the lies we tell ourselves can’t compete with the truths our hearts refuse to let go…
From the Editor
The depth and truth of the emotions that author Megan Hart captures on these pages is remarkable—she gives new meaning to the phrase “It’s complicated.” Stories of unrequited love may be my favorite reading: the longing, the delayed gratification, the sweet suffering…the slow build as “unrequited” turns into an unbearable burden for the one in love, which leads to that beautiful moment of vulnerability where everything is laid bare.
But what becomes of unrequited love in the wake of a sudden, tragic death? Lost in the aftermath of grief, where does love go? Can you build a future if an essential part of your yesterday will never see another tomorrow?
All the Lies We Tell (and the follow-up, All the Secrets We Keep) are the absorbing stories of four people who let grief shape their lives. Until they let go of their guilt and suspicions, they won’t be free to follow their hearts.
Secrets, lies, passions, and intertwined relationships, woven together by a masterful novelist…Is there anything better?
