Os segredos não morrem. Apenas mudam de escola. Billie Vale, nova-iorquina de origem, chega à Wickham Academy, o mais prestigiado colégio interno de Inglaterra, com uma identidade falsa - Belinda Winters - e uma única missão: limpar o nome da irmã. Isla está em coma, acusada de ter matado a melhor amiga. Billie tem apenas uma oportunidade para descobrir a verdade numa escola construída sobre privilégios e mentiras. Se conseguir, o pai, de quem está afastada, ajudará finalmente a mãe. Se falhar, destruirá o que resta da família. Os segredos de Wickham são profundos, e nem todos querem vê-los expostos. O príncipe da escola e o misterioso pária parecem saber mais do que admitem e ambos têm motivos para manter Billie por perto. À medida que desvenda as mentiras que sustentam o império de Wickham, Billie descobre que a lealdade é apenas mais uma moeda de troca, que cada corredor esconde uma intenção e que todos ali protegem os seus a qualquer preço. Mas alguém em Wickham sabe aquilo que realmente aconteceu... e enterrará Billie antes de a deixar descobrir a verdade. Perfeito para leitores que adoraram as hierarquias sociais sombrias de Gossip Girl e a tensão cheia de segredos e reviravoltas de Um de Nós Mente, Mil Mentiras Perfeitas combina o glamour dos colégios de elite, uma história de redenção entre irmãs e um mistério em que o privilégio se transforma em perigo.

Secrets don’t die. They just transfer schools. New York native Billie Vale arrives at Wickham Academy, England’s most elite boarding school, with a forged identity as Belinda Winters and one mission: clear her sister’s name. Isla lies in a coma, accused of killing her best friend. Billie has one shot to uncover the truth in a school built on privilege and deception. Succeed, and her estranged father will finally help her mother. Fail, and it will tear what’s left of her family apart. But Wickham’s secrets run deep, and not everyone wants them exposed. The school’s golden prince and its brooding outcast both seem to know more than they’ll admit—and both have reasons to keep Billie close. As she digs into the lies that built Wickham’s empire, she discovers that loyalty is just another currency, every hallway hides a motive, and everyone here protects their own at any cost. But someone at Wickham knows what really happened... And they’ll bury Billie before they let her find out. Perfect for readers who loved the dark social hierarchies of Gossip Girl and the twisty, secret-laden tension of One of Us Is Lying, A Thousand Perfect Lies delivers prep-school glamour, sisterly redemption, and a mystery that turns privilege into peril.

Elle pensait ne rien ressentir... jusqu’à lui. Carolina Lancaster n’aurait jamais cru revoir West, ce garçon au sourire désarmant qu’elle a rencontré lors d’une chaude nuit d’été à Paris. Pourtant, dès son premier jour à Lancaster Prep, il est là, bien qu’il lui ait dit avoir terminé ses études. Blessée par ses mensonges, Carolina est déterminée à faire comme s’il n’existait pas. Mais ignorer West s’avère rapidement impossible. Tout chez lui la fascine, réduisant à néant les défenses qu’elle avait érigées autour d’elle pour se protéger du monde. West est le seul à pouvoir la toucher sans qu’elle prenne la fuite, le seul qui ait réussi à briser la glace qui enserrait son cœur, qu’elle croyait insensible. Mais céder à ses sentiments pourrait tout compliquer. Car se laisser aimer, c’est aussi accepter de risquer de souffrir si tout venait à s’écrouler...

Megtestesít mindent, amit Willow soha nem akarna...mégsem tud másra gondolni. És amikor rájön, hogy talán Rhett is hasonlóan érez, alig várja, hogy megszabaduljon jókislányos hírnevétől, és rossz dolgokat műveljen. De csakis Rhett-tel.

La estrella con quien todas sueñan solo tiene ojos para ella Mi padre me prometió una gran sorpresa para mi fiesta de cumpleaños dieciocho, pero jamás imaginé que se tratara de Tate Ramsey, excantante del grupo Five Car Pileup, más famoso por sus fiestas que por su música. Después de ir a rehabilitación, Tate estaba listo para regresar a los escenarios y, aunque yo habría preferido a Harry Styles, no puedo negar que mis invitados lo amaron. Mi fiesta y su presentación se volvieron un hit en redes sociales... especialmente luego de que se filtraron fotos de nuestro beso tras bambalinas. Ahora somos la pareja favorita del internet y, aunque mi plan inicial era desmentir todo lo antes posible, se siente bien ser la Lancaster que se lleva los reflectores y a él también le conviene estar en boca de todos. Así que decidimos mentir para las cámaras... solo espero que él no se dé cuenta de que mis sentimientos son cada vez más reales.

Ha tetszett az A Milllion Kisses in Your Lifetime! Weston Fontaine a legszexibb végzős a Lancaster középiskolában. És ezt tudja is. Elképesztően jóképű. Magabiztos. Okos. Túlságosan is. Mindenki imádja. Bárkit megkaphat a suliban. Egyet kivéve. Engem. Engem is Lancasternek hívnak, ami azt jelenti, hogy gyakorlatilag érinthetetlen vagyok. Vagy legalábbis ezt hittem. A családomé ez az isten háta mögötti magániskola, ahova nem akarok járni. De a szüleim szerint el kell viselnem a Lancaster középiskolában az utolsó évet, mielőtt visszatérhetek ahhoz, amit a legjobban szeretek: a baletthez. West nem könnyíti meg itt az életemet. Arrogáns. Nyers. Kiállhatatlan. A lehető legszörnyűbb módon teszi pokollá az életemet, addig a pontig, amíg már képtelen vagyok elviselni. Mégis ő az egyetlen fiú, akinek valaha is megengedtem, hogy megérintsen... A helyzet az, hogy West és én...szóval nekünk van egy közös titkunk. Párizsban egy fülledt nyári éjszakán egymásba gabalyodtunk. És én sosem szoktam ilyesmit csinálni. Soha. Olyasmit mutattam meg magamból, amit még soha senkinek. A legsebezhetőbb formámat látta. Elmeséltem neki a titkaimat. Ő is elmondta a magáét. West szexi volt Párizsban. Vigyázott rám. Sőt mondhatni...édes volt. Most pedig ő a negatív hős a darabomban, mégsem tehetek mást, mint kergetni azt az érzést, amit csak West adhat meg nekem. Az egymás iránti gyűlöletünk ellenére is valamiért fényesebben lángolunk, amikor együtt vagyunk. Akkor hát mi történik, ha menthetetlenül beleszeretünk az egyetlen emberbe, aki nem tesz jót nekünk? Ha olyanok vagytok, mint én, így is fogjátok magatokat, és belezúgtok.

Puis il y a eu cette nuit, où il l’a défendue et a été blessé. Elle aurait dû suivre son instinct qui lui hurlait de fuir... Mais elle l’a invité chez elle pour le soigner.
