The Lies That Bind Us Series

Not all monsters live behind bars. Some sign the visitor log.

Hanna has rebuilt a life that passes for safe: a job at a maximum-security facility where she keeps her distance and keeps her promises, a daughter who deserves a quiet childhood, and a man who watches the doors so she can breathe.

Inside Great Meadow, one patient studies power like a language—and he’s fluent. When danger inside the prison collides with threats beyond its walls, Hanna’s careful boundaries start to fray. What begins as therapy turns into a chess match, and every move has a cost.

Told with a survivor’s eye and a protector’s grit, The Lies We Whisper marries psychological tension with a slow, deeply felt romance. Expect moral knots, mind-games, and choices that echo long after the last page.
