Wicked Lies

I had a new life.
One that I fought for.
One that I lied for.
One that I would do anything to protect.

No one knew about the secrets that kept me awake at night.

I fought tooth and nail to keep everyone at arm’s length.
Until a woman I hadn’t seen since childhood showed up on my doorstep.
Keeley Fox wanted answers, but all that I could give her were lies.

Lies that would shield her from the nastiness of my past. A past that collided with hers and could destroy the pretty world that she lived in.
One push from her became too much and I savored her downfall, except she took me down with her.
Now I was exposed to all of Wellington University and that reputation I had built was a pile of bricks at my feet.

The greatest lie of all was that love was worth the fight.
