Noah Shaw appears to have everything at seventeen, but appearances deceive. He carries secrets that weigh on him, trusting only Mara Dyer with the truth about his life and his fears for what lies ahead. This trust may be his mistake. Both Noah and Mara know that digging deeper into their true natures could destroy what they have together. Their instincts prove correct. As the first installment in the Shaw Confessions, this companion to the Mara Dyer series strips away old lies and exposes buried truths. New vows turn lethal. The story picks up where happy endings supposedly begin, revealing that contentment can be the most dangerous illusion of all. Noah must navigate a world where his closest relationship becomes his greatest vulnerability.
