A Smile Full of Lies - Paperback

by Rose James (Author)

I want someone who would burn the world down for me, and smile while it burned.

Struggling writer Rosalind Cooper doesn't need more distractions, but when her life falls apart, she ends up under the roof of her enigmatic neighbor, Philip Knox.

He's the heir of Stonewood Manor, survivor of the cold-case massacre that gutted his family, and the boy who bought the house next door seven years ago just to be close to her.

What Rosalind doesn't know? Knox is also the masked stranger who's been haunting her fantasies online, reading the confessions she thought were anonymous and turning them into reality in the dark. He's been waiting for this moment since the first day they met.

As their twisted attraction consumes them, Knox finally reveals the evidence he's kept hidden for years: a fragment of security footage from the night his family was slaughtered. He never gave it to the police. He's been saving it for himself... for the day he could deliver his own justice.

But when Rosalind sees what no one else could, she realizes the past isn't as buried as everyone believed. And if Knox discovers the truth she's holding back? His vengeance will burn everything in its path... including her.

A Smile Full of Lies is a dark, twisty romance about obsession, betrayal, and the love story that should never feel this good. Please check the TWs before diving in.
