IN THE SHADOW OF TRUTH

When Evelyn Hart transfers to Westbridge University, she only wants one thing, to surprise her longtime boyfriend, Alex Carter. But the surprise turns to horror when she arrives just in time to see his body pulled from the campus lake. The police call it an accident. Evelyn calls it a lie. Alex was a strong swimmer, too strong to drown without a reason. Haunted by grief and suspicion, she refuses to go home. Every corner of Westbridge whispers secrets, and every smile hides something darker. Especially the ones belonging to Lila Montgomery, the campus queen with perfect charm and ice in her veins, and Daniel Reid, Lila’s mysterious boyfriend and Alex’s supposed rival. Both know more than they’ll say. One might even be the killer. As Evelyn digs deeper, she finds herself caught between truth and obsession, danger and desire. The closer she gets to uncovering what happened that night, the more tangled her heart becomes in the very web she’s trying to escape. Because at Westbridge University, love is a weapon… and the truth can drown you.
