A czy ty wierzysz w baśnie? Penelope nigdy nie wierzyła, i to mimo tego, że wychowała się na tajemniczej wyspie, gdzie legendy o duchach, czarownicach i zadawnionych waśniach są chlebem powszednim. Nie wierzyła nawet po tym, jak pewnej nocy sześć lat temu usiadła na Diabelskim Krześle i wypowiedziała życzenie – a ono się spełniło. Kiedy spotkała Rivera Calibana i spojrzała w jego bezdenne czarne oczy, wciąż nie dawała wiary plotkom, jakoby dziedzic zaprzysięgłego wroga jej rodziny był wcieleniem samego Diabła. Mimo to wiedziała, że powinna trzymać się od niego z daleka. Powinna uciec z wyspy, kiedy pierwszy raz wypowiedział jej imię i wyciągnął do niej dłoń. Zamiast tego, wbrew rozsądkowi i niepokojącym znakom, wzięła udział w obchodach karnawału w jego mrocznym, rzekomo nawiedzonym domu zasnutym mgłą. Gdzieś głęboko wśród wielu kłamstw ukrywa się prawda. Jednak czy Penelope będzie w stanie się z nią zmierzyć? Tajemnicza i urzekająca historia, która przeplata tradycyjne aspekty gotyckiej powieści ze współczesnym romansem! Ta historia jest naprawdę SPICY. Sugerowany wiek: 18+

SPECIAL EDITION ILLUSTRATED COVER FOR WHEN WE LIED **this is a spicy standalone hockey romance novel has an obsessed morally gray hero who falls first.

He''d look like a Disney prince if the prince was a broody ahole. Four years ago, a fated meeting led to an inevitable hook-up. Just one. It''s his rule. One-time hook-ups, no information exchanges, and no repeats. I knew that even before he established his boundaries, and he kept his promise. I hadn''t seen or heard from him since. A year ago, when tragedy struck, he came back to town and sought me out. Gone was the disarming grin and the innuendos he''d once used to make my knees go weak. Unfortunately, his ire was equally debilitating. Now he''s back as the face of Fairview''s brand new professional hockey team and he''s looking for answers I don''t have. Finn won''t accept that, though. He''s as determined to uncover my secrets as I am to keep them. He pushes as hard as I pull. It''s only a matter of time before the rope snaps. Now I can only hope I''m the one left standing. tropes: FMC is a college basketball player MMC is a professional hockey player stalker hero college/new adult obsessed/possessive hero #JP hero boy obsessed dark themes (content warning in the book)
