The Lair

Allie Smith is a liar.

For starters, her name isn’t Smith—but it sounds common enough to hide her real identity. And with a new haircut and some hair dye, no one will recognize her on the other side of the country. Or so she hopes.

Years after running away from home and the memories of her kidnapping, Allie finds her footing again in a small town in Maine. She has a safe roof over her head, freedom, and a job she loves at The Lair—a local bar managed by a stoic, protective ex–Navy SEAL who makes her heart beat faster than it should.

But the internet never forgets, and Allie’s parents made sure her most vulnerable years were broadcasted for millions to see. When her past resurfaces and her true identity is at risk of being discovered, Allie finds that her growing crush on her older boss isn’t her biggest problem after all.
