I have a Post-it note for every lie I’ve ever needed to tell.

Post-it #1: I’m not falling for Quinn Ozler.

Post-it #2: The Ozlers have nothing to do with my mother’s disappearance.

Post-it #3: I can survive the truth.

All are peeling.

All are lies.

Quinn Ozler is everything I swore to avoid: a billionaire heir, dangerous, untouchable, and impossible to stay away from. He looks at me like he can already see through every lie I’ve built my life around.

I’m a scholarship pre-med student barely holding my future together. He is the one risk I cannot afford to take.

But I didn’t come to Pritzker just for medical school. I came for answers about my mother, who disappeared there twenty years ago. The deeper I dig, the more every secret leads straight to the Ozlers.

Then a warning lands in my hands:

Stay away from the Ozlers. You won’t survive it.

The closer I get to Quinn, the harder it is to hate him. And the more I start to wonder if falling for him could destroy us both.

Almost Honest is a romance-first new adult romantic suspense novel featuring enemies-to-lovers tension, an elite campus setting, a morally gray billionaire heir, dangerous family secrets, and an ongoing slow-burn romance between Prin and Quinn.

Book 1 of the series ends on a happy-for-now note (not standalone), while their romance and the larger family mystery continue across the Heir of Hearts Legacy series.

Perfect for readers who love angsty new adult romance, slow-burn chemistry, wealthy heroes, dark academia vibes, and suspense woven through the romance.
