Velvet Lies
She grew up without a father. But she was never without questions.
Seventeen-year-old Araceli has lived her whole life in the shadow of a lie wrapped in silk-beautiful, soft, and impossible to hold. Her mother never spoke of the man who left them behind. No photos. No letters. No answers.
Until one arrives on her birthday.
With a name she's never heard and a truth she's never been told, she sets out to uncover the past her mother buried. But some lies are dressed in velvet for a reason-to make you forget they can still cut deep.
As secrets unravel and emotions collide, she finds herself caught between a father she never knew, a family that was never really hers, and a truth that just might break her.
Because not all lies are ugly.
Some are sweet. Some are safe.
And some wear velvet.
