Little Ugly Truths

Working at an amusement park on the coast of Maine is exactly what I need, an illusion of escape. But beneath the laughter and lights, secrets bleed through concrete, and the darkness doesn’t just lurk below; it reaches up to drag me under.

I insist that finding the tunnels is merely innocent curiosity, though Preston Lachlan sees through it like it’s a lie. His scowl is a warning, his eyes a cage, and he’s hell-bent on proving my employment with his family’s empire isn’t a coincidence.
One month behind his walls. Those are the terms if I want to escape with my life.
I should resist. I should run. It’s what I’m good at.
However, his past isn’t the only one stained with blood.

The longer I’m forced to coexist with Preston, our truths begin to surface, and temptation tastes like salvation. And I can’t tell if I’m still in danger, or if I’ve finally found refuge in the arms of a man I shouldn’t be falling for.
