Mendacity: state of being untruthful.


"Most people would be freaking out right now," he murmurs, his voice low, almost mocking.

I take a slow drag, letting the smoke burn down my throat. "Freaking out isn't my style. I've already danced with devil, and I'm still standing."

He leans closer, his inked arms closing in. "So, you think you can handle whatever comes next?"

I hold his gaze, flicking the ash from my cigarette. "Maybe. But I have a feeling you're going to make me forget what mercy felt like... you'll be the one to ruin me first."

Mendacity: a rock band at the height of fame, power, and chaos, on their third world tour. Secrets darker than their lyrics linger in the shadows, following their every move.

With their backs to a sold-out stadium and secrets held tighter than the notes they play, Mendacity is anything but just a band. But when two members walk away mid-tour, Endellion and Finley are forced to team up with replacements who bring more chaos than stability. As tensions rise and truths slip through the cracks, Mendacity's empire teeters on the edge of collapse. Fame may have been the dream, but survival is the only way out.

In of the summer of 2024, Maxine Isabella Devlin, a misunderstood girl with dreams of making her voice heard, seeks on a thrilling journey with her best friends, Narcissa, Xaviar, and Polly soon to be called her bandmates.

It's all about catching those childhood dreams so that many eyes could turn to the one who achieved them well. As tensions rise and secrets unfold, Maxine's journey becomes a high-stakes game of ambition, danger, and heart-pounding choices. For herself, for him, for who, for what?

WATTYS 2023 SHORTLIST Sarah Kennedy's life has fallen to pieces. Her family is broken, she's growing apart from her only friend, and it's been a while since she's stopped dreaming about anything better. She embarks on a trip to Latin America, joining a retreat she hopes will mend her dwindling friendship and escape her miserable day-to-day life. Bad turns to worse, and her hopes are shattered when she is kidnapped by a cartel. While her life is miraculously spared, she's kept captive by a daunting and narcissistic drug lord, Pablo. As his obsession with her grows, so do his favors and promises. Sarah soon finds herself in a gilded cage, living a life more lavish than anything she's ever imagined. But all that glitters isn't gold, and this luxury has a price. If Sarah wants to escape the violent, treacherous, and cocaine-fueled world of cartels, she'll have to fight the demons that keep her captive, as well as the monsters in her head, armed with nothing but a dry sense of humor and a fragile strength. But as she and Pablo both know- it's a long journey home when you don't have any home to go to. _____________________ DTOD is marked as mature for strong language, drug use, violence (and also dark humor) and the occasional steam/smut. Trigger warnings are included before sensitive or explicit scenes. _____________________ "Drugs, Treasons and Other Demons, a niche erotica for people who like men who keep their socks on." "A book that will make you cry whenever you hear a Pitbull song." "By the time I finished reading this whole book, I could have read the entire Hunger Games saga. But I would have had a lot less fun." "I went to read a few chapters of this book one night, and all of a sudden a whole weekend went by on me."

I point to a random car, further away from where we're standing. "And why would I do that?" He lifts a brow, amused. "Because I can't stand to be in your presence. You make me sick." He looks taken aback by that, but then his face darkens as he drawls. "You didn't seem to be sick when I had my tongue down your throat last night. In fact, I recall you moaning for more."

Harley doesn't remember her wedding. She doesn't remember the orchard, the church, or why her life is littered with bodies and broken memories she swears don't belong to her. Harry doesn't like the rich. He hunts them down and steals back what his boss tells him to steal. He doesn't want anything to do with them. He wants them all gone. But every clue Harley left herself before her memories were stolen drags them closer together: blood-stained veils, locked trunks, ruined chapels, and secrets buried in orchards across the ocean. As her past unravels, Harry finds himself trapped in a game Harley designed long before she forgot- a game of obsession, betrayal, and control. And in games like this, there's no such thing as winning- only surviving.
