Avery always thought she knew Jillian Mercer.
From the moment she walked into that high school classroom, quiet, guarded, unapologetically sharp. Avery saw something in her that no one else did. And for years, Avery held onto the belief that she was the one person Jillian let in. The one Jillian chose to love, honestly.
But now, years into the life they built together, things are starting to slip. Late nights. Missed calls. A letter Avery was never meant to find. And a name, Jenna Lang, a girl who vanished fifteen years ago in a town Jillian never told Avery she lived in.
As Avery digs into Jillian's past, she uncovers fragments of a life that she was never invited into, a different last name, an old photograph by a lake, and a quiet trail that leads straight to a disappearance no one ever solved. The closer Avery gets to the truth, the more Avery starts to wonder. Did she fall in love with a lie?
"The Lies That Bind Us" is a slow-burning, psychological suspense about the cracks that form between truth and intimacy, and what happens when the person you trust most might be keeping the darkest secret of all.

" 'Cause if I know you see me falling, You'll be right there to pick me up" Liyah never meant to fall this fast. She's the shy-but-outgoing type - the kind of girl who laughs things off, bites her tongue, and lets stuff slide just to keep the peace. Communication isn't her strong suit, and standing up for herself never came easy. But when Kayzon walks into her life, everything she thought she knew about protecting her heart gets complicated. Kayzon's got his own story - one written in pain, loss, and walls too high for most people to climb. His past made him hard, quiet, and guarded, but somehow, Liyah gets past the surface. She makes him feel seen again. Safe, even. What starts as late-night conversations and lazy afternoons in her dorm turns into something deeper, something neither of them expected. But when two people carrying their own kind of hurt collide, love doesn't always heal - sometimes, it exposes. Did they move too fast, or did they just find each other at the wrong time?
