The August Six

She is breathtakingly beautiful, impossibly wealthy, and perfectly composed-Manhattan royalty with a germaphobic streak and a tendency to spiral about designer handbags when she's nervous.
He is New York's most devastating heir-tattooed, brooding, and utterly ruined for anyone who isn't her.

Lorelei Hastings and Lennox Kingswell have been inevitable since birth, and everyone knows it. They are the couple-written in the stars, raised on legacy, and bound by something deeper than love. Something older. Something broken.

On the surface, they're flawless. Untouchable. But perfection has always been Rory's favorite coping mechanism, and Knox has always preferred beautiful lies to ugly truths. Because beneath the silk and champagne and society-page headlines, there's a secret rotting at the center of everything-a night seven years ago that ended their childhood in blood and silence.

They don't talk about it. Not with each other. Not with anyone.
They love each other too much to look too closely.

But secrets don't stay buried forever. And as the past begins to bleed through the cracks, Rory and Knox are forced to reckon with the truth they've spent their lives protecting each other from.

Because if love is what saved them,
The truth might be what destroys them.

A story about obsession, legacy, and the dangerous kind of love-the kind that survives everything but the truth.
