A BEAUTIFUL LIE

INTRODUCTION

Twenty-year-old Adrianna "Dria" Sinclair seems to have it all.

She's studying law, owns three successful KIYAH LUXE fashion boutiques across Jamaica, and lives a life filled with luxury, beautiful clothes, late-night parties and everything money can buy.

But behind the perfect lifestyle is a girl with secrets of her own.

Then there's Tahjae Campbell, a handsome twenty-two-year-old trader who is caring, protective and a complete gentleman-but with Dria, he brings out a softer side of her that nobody else gets to see.

Dria's closest friends are more like family.

Leanna, her twenty-one-year-old best friend and sister at heart, is a successful real-estate agent.

Jemar "Mar", twenty-one, is her brother in everything but blood and a successful businessman with properties and plazas of his own.

And Racque "Raq", twenty, has been Dria's best friend since high school. After his father's death, he inherited the family luxury automotive business. He's protective of Dria and treats her like his own sister.

Together, they have money, success, loyalty and a bond that seems impossible to break.

But secrets have a way of changing everything.

As relationships become complicated and things hidden beneath their perfect lives begin to surface, Dria realizes that not everyone around her is who they seem.

In Mandeville, everybody knows somebody.

And everybody has something to hide.

Welcome to Dria's world.

Because a beautiful life doesn't always mean a beautiful truth.
