He Lied, So I Fell Harder

Love wasn’t the finish line—it was just the start. Savannah Brooks always believed her life would be ordinary: teaching martial arts, dodging her mother’s matchmaking schemes, and hoping for something real. Then Julian Carter walked into her gym—bookish, gentle, and unexpectedly brave—and suddenly, Savannah’s world is on fire with first dates, museum adventures, and family celebrations. But when Julian’s childhood friend Chloe bursts onto the scene, their whirlwind romance collides with jealousy, secrets, and a rivalry that turns into an unlikely sisterhood. As Savannah faces daring rescues, playful betrayals, and the revelation of Julian’s sweetest lie, she must decide what it means to trust—and how far she’ll go for the love she never saw coming. When family, friends, and forever are all on the line, can Savannah and Julian turn their almost-perfect romance into a life they both believe in? Or will a single secret tear them apart before they reach the altar?
