Lie to Me by Lilian Monroe

Aiden: I’m happy up here in the mountains. There’s no one else around. No one to remind me of the past, no one to ask me about the future. My life is simple, but it’s enough. Until suddenly, it’s not enough anymore. Maddy shows up with the company that’ll rip this mountain apart and I know I should hate her, but I can’t. I know I should stay away, but I don’t want to. Whatever the cost, whatever the consequence, I just want her.

Madeline: I’ve made my own way in this world. I haven’t relied on my parent’s wealth or connections, I’ve gotten to where I am on my own. I’ve made it. I’m the lead environmental engineer on the biggest project of my career. It feels like I’m exactly where I should be until Aiden Clarke bursts through the door and turns my world upside down. I can close my eyes and pretend that everything will be ok. I can lie to myself. I can believe that even though there’s no way out of this, we’ll get our happily-ever-after. We’re on opposite sides of an battle that can’t be won, and sooner or later the truth has to come out.
