Lipstick & Lies: The Desire Diaries

By Abbey Wales

A forbidden, age-gap, brother's-best-friend dark romance about obsession, tension, and the one kiss that ruined everything.

Four years ago, Ash Rowe did the one thing he swore he never would-

he kissed Elodie Vale, his best friend's little sister.

He walked away, trying to forget her. Trying to be good.

He failed.

Now Elodie is back in London-older, magnetic, impossible to ignore-and Ash realises every boundary he held onto is already gone. The desire he buried is back with a vengeance, sharper and darker than before.

He shouldn't want her.

He shouldn't look at her the way he does.

But obsession doesn't vanish with time.

It grows.

When old tension ignites into something neither of them can outrun, Ash makes one thing perfectly clear:

She's not off-limits anymore. She's his. And he's done pretending otherwise.

This dark, addictive, high-heat novella blends forbidden desire with intense chemistry and a fiercely devoted, morally grey MMC. Perfect for readers who love unhinged obsession, impossible attraction, and love stories that don't play by the rules.

- Forbidden tension

- Age gap romance

- Brother's best friend dynamic

- Possessive MMC energy

- High heat
