The Ink of Denial (Lost in Between #3)
C.N. Marie, Lizzie James

Chrissie
Denial. It controls my world.
Every decision that I make, I become that lost little girl that was betrayed. Instead of grabbing every opportunity with both hands, I push it away until I am that broken wreck that I once was.
Relationships were a deal-breaker for me so when I had one night with Robert, we became lovers. There were no titles and no feelings. Just sex.
My body was all I could trust myself to give him. My heart was too shattered to ever trust anyone and I knew that I would never be enough for him.
The day would come where he would wake up and realize that he deserved better.
When that day came, I would let him go.
Robert
Secrets. Lies. Denial. I had been blind to it until it all came crashing down around us.
I had never been good at keeping secrets but when it came to keeping my feelings hidden, it turned out I was a pro.
After starting a secret relationship with Chrissie, it had soon spiralled into more than just two friends having fun together.
I had fallen fast for her and I knew I was screwed. She never gave any hints that she wanted more and I knew it would be a challenge to make her envision having more with me.
Could I make her fall for me? More importantly, could I fall out of love with her?
When tragedy strikes, will she still be standing by my side or will she take a fast exit and protect her heart from being broken again?
This is a friends-to-lovers romance and it can be read as a standalone
