THE LIE THAT BROKE US: The Past Between Us Series
Vivienne Hart
(The Past Between Us Series, Book 1)
He was the only man I ever loved. He was also the only one who could destroy me.
Five years ago, Ethan Hayes disappeared without a trace. No goodbye. No explanation. Just a hollow silence that shattered my world and turned the girl who believed in "forever" into a woman made of ice.
Now, I am Clara Bennett—composed, successful, and untouchable. I’ve built a life where no one can hurt me again. Until I walk into a high-stakes board meeting and find myself face-to-face with the ghost who haunts my dreams.
Ethan is back, more commanding and guarded than ever. Forced to work together on the biggest project of my career, the tension between us is a physical weight, pulling at the threads of the carefully constructed armor I wear.
But as the walls I built begin to crumble, I realize the story I’ve told myself for years might be a lie.
Ethan didn't just leave. He was forced into the shadows to protect me from a danger I never knew existed. And the person I trusted most to help me pick up the pieces? They might be the one who orchestrated our destruction from the very beginning.
In a world of corporate power plays and lethal secrets, can love survive a truth that changes everything? Or will the final reveal be the one that breaks us for good?
