The Identities We Wear

🤍 Best friends shouldn't look at each other the way they do. 🤍

Evelyn Ward still believes in fairytales.

Nicholas Quinn never believed in them.

He grew up watching love ruin people. Watching promises break and the consequences left behind.

So he learned early not to trust forever.

And definitely not his own heart.

Which is unfortunate.

Because for as long as he can remember, Evelyn has been the one temptation he could never quite get over.

She dreams of futures.

He trusts consequences.

She follows the rules.

He bends them.

And somehow, despite every reason they shouldn't work, they've spent years becoming the most important person in each other's lives.

Until one reckless night breaks the balance between them for good, forcing them to confront the one thing they've always pretended wasn't there.

Now the friendship they've spent years protecting is suddenly the very thing they're at risk of losing.

Especially when Evelyn's future already belongs to someone else.

Especially when Nicholas has spent years convincing himself that wanting her is the closest he'll ever get.

As loyalties fracture and expectations close in, Evelyn begins to question the life that was chosen for her- and the masks she's worn for so long.

But breaking free has a price.

Will Nicholas Quinn be the one reckless enough to make her pay it? Will he be the one to make her risk it all for passion, or will duty and expectation claim her first?

Because some masks only slip once...

....before everything falls apart.

🤍

The Identities We Wear is a seductive story of friendship, forbidden desire, and the dangerous thrill of stepping outside the lines already drawn for you. In a world built on appearances, Evelyn and Nicholas must decide whether the truth beneath their masks is worth risking everything for.
