That he deserved better than me.
I was wrong.

When I’m hired for an heiress’s wedding at a remote mountain estate, I expect distance. Instead, I end up needing Wes’s help.
A storm hits. The power goes out. The roads disappear. Suddenly, there’s nowhere left to hide, from him or from everything we never finished.

He doesn’t want friendship.
He wants everything I took from him…and everything I still am.
And this time, he’s not letting me walk away.

A new adult dark academia romance with a scarred hero and a school full of secrets from #1 New York Times Bestselling Author Rachel Van Dyken
She spent seven years mourning him.
He spent seven years hating her.
Neither of them knows they're hunting the same secret.
They call it the Dean's List.
Not because of grades.
Because of sins.
At Brighton University, someone keeps a ledger of the powerful. Professors. Legacy families. Future politicians. Every affair, bribe, betrayal, and crime is carefully collected, waiting for the perfect moment to destroy the people responsible.
Delilah Quinn wants nothing to do with it.
She changed her name, rebuilt her life, and has one year left before she can finally leave her past behind.
Then Jude Mercer walks back into her life.
The boy she loved.
The boy she buried.
The boy who knows exactly who she is.
Jude spent years paying for a crime he didn't commit, convinced Delilah betrayed him. Now he's back, determined to uncover the truth and make everyone responsible suffer.
Especially her.
But revenge gets complicated when old feelings refuse to stay dead, and the deeper they dig into the Dean's List, the more they realize the ledger isn't exposing strangers.
It's exposing their families.
Someone has been waiting for them to come home.
Someone knows what really happened seven years ago.
And if the Dean's List finally comes to light...
It won't just ruin lives.
It will reveal that some secrets were never meant to stay buried.
The Dean's List was the perfect quick read—packed with mystery, twists, chemistry, and just enough longing to keep me turning the pages.
Seven years ago, Lilah's life changed forever, and ever since, she's simply been trying to survive one day at a time. The last person she ever expected to see again was Jude. After all, she was told he was dead. But Jude is very much alive—and he's back, carrying years of anger and a desire for revenge.
What neither of them realizes is that they've both been living with the wrong version of the story.
I loved watching the layers of the past unravel as secrets came to light and the truth slowly emerged. The tension between Lilah and Jude was undeniable, and the mix of heartbreak, heat, and suspense kept the story moving at a great pace. It's a fast read, but it still delivers plenty of emotional impact along the way.
If you're looking for a romantic suspense with twists, mystery, and second-chance vibes, this is one to add to your TBR.
Definitely a one-click recommendation from me, and I can't wait to see what Rachel Van Dyken has in store for the next book in the series!
The Dean's List was a fast-paced story with suspense, secrets, and heat that'll capture your mind and heart
and hold it until you finish the book.
The two lead characters share such an intense connection you'd have to be crazy to not "feel" it while reading this one. And when they come together again, secrets and lies are revealed and they work together to uncover the truth and overcome the heartbreak that changed their lives over 7 years ago.
I am so glad I read this one and absolutely believe you HAVE to one-click this story, It's a quick read that you won't want to end. And now, I am ready for the next RVD story!

But someone out there is watching us. Waiting to destroy everything I’ve fought to keep safe.
Now the only person standing between me and ruin is one I can’t dare to trust…the man who makes me believe in stolen kisses, whispered promises, and moments that feel too much like forever.
Walking away will keep us safe.
But some risks are impossible to ignore…even when the cost could be everything.

SECRETS & LIES
by Willow Dixon
Series: Silvercrest U #5
Release Date: June 18, 2026
Genre: MM Dark College Romance Standalone
Tropes: Classmates to lovers, frat brothers, Bi Awakening, anonymous texting, masks, sensualism and sensory play, mild bondage, D/s vibes, caretaking, Hurt/Comfort, found family, a protective MC, morally ambiguous heroes, not-so-secret societies, and lots of spicy times
Three years ago, I hooked up with one of my frat brothers during a house challenge, and between the darkness and the masks we were wearing, I had no idea it was West until after it was over. And what was supposed to be nothing more than a chance to have a little fun and indulge in some of my darker desires ends up being so much more.
I don't understand the pull between us, but West feels like mine, and even though he does his best to hide it, I know he wants me too.
Then he issues me a challenge I can't resist, and my prize is I get to do whatever I want to him. I already know West is into the same things I am, but I had no idea just how compatible we really are. Or how much we both like it when I wear a mask.
At the same time all of this is going on, West and I are paired up to work on a project together, and it's then I realize that what I feel for him goes beyond anything I ever thought possible. I don't just want him, I need him. And now that I've claimed him, I'm never letting him go.
West is mine until I decide he isn't, and I dare anyone to try and come between us because I promise it won't end well for them.
What can I say about myself? It's kind of like being the new kid in school and being asked to tell everyone a bit about yourself. Anyone else forget everything they've ever liked, thought of, and even their name in those moments?
A few facts about me; I'm a veteran, I'm Canadian, and I love books! I've been writing my own stories since I was eight and wrote my first novel at sixteen. I'm the first to admit those attempts weren't my best work, but they started me on a journey of creating stories that has led me to fulfilling my dream of becoming an author. I've written and published in several genres under different names, but MM is by far my favorite, and I'm so happy to be able to share my stories with people today.
I currently live on Canada's east coast with my kiddo and my cats. I have a shoe collecting addiction, and I enjoy taking long walks, discussions with friends, and reading anything and everything I can get my hands on.

Every time I think I found a favorite in this series, I'm proven wrong. Secrets and Lies was amazing, and it had me hooked from the very beginning. This book focuses on other characters outside of the cousins from the first few books, and I was here for it. Wonderfully written characters, a story that pulls you in from page one, and an arch that has you gasping, laughing, shaking your head, and biting your nails. You need this book in your life. But in my honest opinion, you need all of the books in this series if you like edgier and darker. 5 stars!
A dark atmospheric psychological thriller packed with small-town secrets, buried trauma, and shocking twists.
She escaped her past—and the man she never forgot.
Now with two girls gone missing, she's pulled back into a deadly game she may not survive.
Jillian Thorne built her career making the unreal feel real.
On Hollywood soundstages, she stages murder, kidnapping, and violent crime with chilling authenticity—turning fiction into gripping entertainment.
But nothing she’s created compares to the truth waiting in Blue Gil.
Nearly six years after escaping her small hometown, Jillian is drawn back by the suspicious death of the town’s beloved high school football coach. What first appears to be a tragic loss quickly unravels into something far more sinister—a dark mystery no one is willing to confront.
Because in Blue Gil, secrets aren’t just buried… they’re protected.
As disturbing clues surface and a brutal tragedy strikes dangerously close to home, Jillian finds herself trapped inside a real-life psychological thriller. The instincts that made her successful in Hollywood may be the key to solving the crime—or the very thing clouding her judgment.
Everyone in this small town is hiding something.
Including Jillian.
To uncover the truth, she must break through an unspoken code of silence, deception, and loyalty—and face the past she thought she left behind. Because some secrets refuse to stay buried.
And in this twisted game of suspense, trusting the wrong person could be deadly.
Have you been Aleatha’d?
*Perfect for fans of Sharp Objects, All Good People Here, and The Last House Guest, Rising Waters is a dark and addictive psychological thriller filled with buried secrets, small-town corruption, twisted family loyalties, and devastating betrayals.
This is a complete 80K stand-alone psychological thriller with a STEM FMC who needs to learn secrets before it’s too late. The only connection to Aleatha’s FEAR OF FLAMES is that our favorite podcasters from Crime Daily Podcast are back, showing the readers another perspective.
*You do not need to read Crime Daily Podcast book one, FEAR OF FLAMES before RISING WATERS.
5 Stars!
Rising Waters is one story that sticks with you. Your emotions and senses are fully engaged in this psychological thriller.
Returning to her small hometown she hasn't set foot in in over six years isn't easy for our mfc. Neither is being the only one (perceived only one) to question the death that brought her home, or the mysterious disappearances that occur.
The truth in revealed slowly, hidden secrets come to the surface, and her perseverance will pay off. This isn't my usual Aleatha story, but man! I absolutely loved reading this one!
Jillian hasn't been back to Blue Gill in six years. Returning in search of answers, she quickly finds herself caught up in a web of mystery, secrets, and scandal. It's clear that something isn't right in Blue Gill—and the deeper she digs, the more dangerous things become.
I honestly couldn't turn the pages fast enough. Aleatha Romig does a fantastic job building suspense and keeping readers guessing. I had a theory about one of the twists and was thrilled to discover I was right, but the other major reveal? I never saw it coming.
With intriguing characters, plenty of tension, and unexpected twists, Rising Waters kept me hooked from beginning to end. If you enjoy mystery, suspense, and small-town secrets, definitely pick this one up if you get the opportunity.
Aleatha Romig is a New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today bestselling author who lives in Indiana.
