Twisted Lies

High school bully romance Forbidden love Dark secrets Enemies to lovers Family loyalties

At Twisted Pine Academy, the rich don’t just rule. They reign.

And the Halliways sit on the throne.

When seventeen-year-old Rumor Bennet is shipped across the country to live with the uncle she’s never met, she arrives at the Halliway mansion knowing exactly what she is — the charity case. The outsider. The girl who doesn’t belong.

Placed at the elite Twisted Pine Academy, Rumor quickly discovers that loyalty is currency. Power is protection. And the Halliway name opens every door — and closes ranks just as fast. Rumor is warned to keep her head down. Her cousins own the academy halls, the football field, the town itself.

But Rumor has never been good at taking orders. And she’s not about to start.

Then there’s Jackson Novak. Her cousins’ sworn enemy.

The only one who doesn’t bow to the Halliway crown— and the only one who looks at Rumor like she isn’t theirs to claim.

Jackson knows things. About the family. About the academy. Maybe about her. And every stolen moment with him feels like crossing a line.

Because at Twisted Pine, secrets are currency.
