[Chatham Hills 02] • Above the Truths

Colson

The pain of losing someone is far worse than I imagined. My grief barely waits for me to say goodbye before it pummels me to the ground. It’s raw and relentless, and it turns me into an entirely different person.

I become my own worst enemy as my world collapses like a house of cards. It doesn't take long to get buried so deep beneath the rubble that I can barely breathe. By the time I’m finally able to come up for air, I’m too late. Because Mom is dead, and I just might be, too.

Violet

Colson is unrecognizable after his mom overdoses, a man who lets desolation and anger run the show. Mind-numbing kisses disappear, replaced with callous words that peck our hearts to pieces. I’m stuck between fighting for myself and letting my love for him win.

But then, secrets and choices he kept in the dark come to light. Buried beneath the lies of a tumultuous past, he rises above and spears me with his truths. I know our love can withstand any punch, but I’m beginning to wonder if this will be the one that lands the final blow.

Above the Truths is a full-length new adult, college romance with hints of underground fighting, binge-worthy family betrayals + secrets, and slow burn angst. It is the second and FINAL book in the Complicated Truths Duet and finishes with a HEA. Recommended for 18+.
