Phoebe Jones lost her family during a home invasion when she was only thirteen. She's the only one of the four girls who remembers a loving family. The Benefactrix has given her a full boat scholarship to the local college, where Phoebe meets a graduate student who wants to do a story about her family. But Keith Parker isn't without his own demons. His Uncle, now on death row, was one of the men who broke into Phoebe's house eight years ago. What started out as a project for understanding and healing is complicated when Phoebe and u0026 Keith act on the explosive desire between them. Phoebe craves to be in control sexually and Keith is more than willing to let her have her way with him. What started out as a hot fling rapidly becomes something deeper. Keith knows he'll lose her if he reveals who he really is, but the lie has taken on a life of its own and threatens to destroy not only their relationship but Phoebe's fragile self confidence and freshly won self esteem.Book One of the New Adult Truth and Lies series
