A Lie for a Lie is a thrilling and compulsive dark contemporary romance for fans of Everything We Never Said and If He Had Been With Me.

There's a fine line between love and obsession...

Elyse has stopped hoping for anything good to happen in her life. Her family situation has her trapped—and she can't find a way out. Until a teacher at school sees something in her, and for the first time she starts to see a path to freedom...but will it come at an enormous price?

Gabe is dating the girl of his dreams—at least, he thought she was. Sasha always seemed sexy, funny, and intoxicating. But lately there's a dark edge to her affection, and as she becomes increasingly controlling, Gabe realises he has made a dangerous mistake.

In this dark contemporary romance with a shocking twist, Elyse and Gabe's lives quickly spiral out of control, sending them on a collision course with deadly consequences.
