Some lies are told to the world. Others, we tell ourselves.
Hazel Mae Brooks knows how to put on a show. On stage at The Blue Quarter, her sultry voice and old-soul jazz captivate New Orleans night after night. Offstage, she keeps her heart guarded, convinced that love is just another performance-one she refuses to play.
Miles Sinclair is the golden boy of pop music, a heartthrob with a perfect smile and a manufactured image. But beneath the fame, he's suffocating, desperate to prove he's more than a product of the industry that made him.
When a chance encounter leads to an unexpected musical collaboration, sparks fly-both on and off the stage. Miles is drawn to Hazel's raw authenticity, while she's reluctant to let down her walls for a man who lives in the spotlight. But as secrets unravel and the past refuses to stay buried, they'll have to decide if love is worth the risk... or just another beautiful illusion.
A story of passion, betrayal, and the price of fame, The Lies We Live By is a slow-burn romance about two artists fighting to find truth in a world built on illusion.
Book One of the "What We Live For" Series.

Despite the fact that I want nothing more than to run away from the man standing in front of me, I know that my grip on his hands is the only thing that's keeping me stable right now. "I didn't lie, sweetheart. I just avoided the topic. If you had figured it out before, I would have told you everything," he claims, pleading with me. I shake my head frantically at him, trying to get the images and thoughts out of my head. "I feel betrayed," I choke. "I don't know if I'll be able to trust you ever again." 🌸🌸🌸 Bryce Bradshaw and Lexi Brooks are living their dream together in New York City.
