A Novel

Winner of the Goodreads Choice Award 2015 for Best Romance

From number one New York Times bestselling author Colleen Hoover, a new novel about the risk of risking everything for love—and finding your heart somewhere between truth and lies.

At twenty-one, Auburn Reed has already lost everything important. In her struggle to rebuild her shattered life, she keeps her goals in sight and there is no room for mistakes. But when she walks into an art studio in Dallas to look for a job, she doesn’t expect to feel a deep attraction to the mysterious artist Owen Gentry who works there.

For the first time, Auburn takes a step and lets her heart take control, only to discover that Owen is hiding a big secret. The extent of his past threatens to destroy everything important to Auburn, and the only way to regain control of her life is to cut Owen out of it.

To save their relationship, Owen just needs to confess. But in this case, the confession could be far more destructive than the actual sin.
