When grief becomes a language, love is the only thing left to translate it. After her husband dies in a storm that doesn’t add up, Evelyn is left adrift on the Carolina coast—a widow made of silence and salt. The only person who understands her loss is the one man she should never need: Noah, her husband’s best friend. Bound by shared pain and impossible desire, Evelyn and Noah are pulled together even as the truth about Rowan’s death begins to surface. Each secret they uncover ties them closer to the night that destroyed them all. And someone in Stillwater wants those secrets to stay buried. As Evelyn unravels the web of betrayal beneath her small seaside town, she realizes the past isn’t gone—it’s watching. And the man she’s falling for may be the only one who can save her… or the next to break her completely. A slow-burn romantic suspense about grief, obsession, and the dangerous mercy of love, The Lies We Keep is perfect for readers who crave the emotional intensity of Colleen Hoover, the dark tension of Tarryn Fisher, and the haunting atmosphere of K.A. Tucker.
