I’m thrilled to offer a sneak peek of A LOVE SONG FOR LIARS, Tyler and Annie’s angsty, emotional story about dreams, love, and betrayal…
Annie
I hate Tyler Adams. Hating him would be my religion if music wasn’t.
But he’s here, facing me, his hair falling across the pillow in a dark cascade. His eyelashes are thick and so long it’s unfair. His mouth is parted in sleep, the top bow firm and the bottom lush.
I’m freaking out, my heart racing a mile a minute.
He’s warm. His heat emanates from his body, inviting me closer.
I hate how much I want to.
I want. I want. I want.
My thighs press together because if there’s a response to that realization that doesn’t involve a rush of heat flowing south, I don’t know what it is.
Of course I’d never let him know that when he’s awake, but he’s not.
Thank God he’s not.
I shift in bed, wincing as my muscles ache.
Perfect.
There’s a reason I’ve never had sex, and if I were going to, he’s the last guy I’d sleep with.
He could have so much more than this stupid place, this stupid school… Instead he sold me out for a bunch of dumb, rich assholes.
Tyler groans, and my heart leaps.
When he shifts, rolling onto his back and exposing even more beautifully carved torso, the covers ride low on his hips.
Not quite low enough to see if he’s wearing anything. I swallow.
I could look.
Don’t fucking look.
I press my hands to my eyes as if it’ll erase the image of the beautiful guy next to me.
Two days ago, all I cared about was being on stage, impressing my rock-star father, and not falling for Oakwood Prep’s rebel prince, Tyler Adams.
But when his eyes start to open…
I know I’m well and truly screwed.

THANK YOU
Thank you for reading Beautiful Enemy.
Harrison and Rae began as secondary characters in Tyler and Annie’s story. Rae first appeared in A Love Song for Rebels, and Harrison (briefly!) in A Love Song for Dreamers (then did a little scene-stealing in A Love Song for Always...*cough*Jetski*cough*).
Their story has grown into so much more. In some ways, the relationship for these two happens on a bigger stage than Tyler and Annie’s—not because they’re more famous (infamous, in Harrison’s case lol), but because they’re dealing with not only personal problems but societal problems, too.
There are a lot of entrenched ideas about how to run a business, and where your responsibility stops and ends. I love that Rae challenges Harrison’s beliefs about being a businessman, and a man. I also love how he pushes her out of her comfort zone, and sees who she could be.
So thank you for trusting me with your time and your heart. And if you loved the sexy, emotional start of their story, you won’t believe where it goes next in Beautiful Sins!
My readers are the most amazing readers anywhere. You guys are positive, bold, enthusiastic, supportive, and amazing humans. I wouldn’t write without you.

Acknowledgments
This story wouldn’t have happened without the support of my awesome readers, including my ARC team. You ladies provide endless enthusiasm, cheerleading, and help spreading the word. I could NOT do it without you, and it would be a lot less fun to try. An extra shoutout to my Brit babes Suzanne and Anna for reading early! I needed you on this one.
Becca Mysoor, thank you for your story genius. Cassie Robertson and Devon Burke, thank you for questioning, polishing, and catching all the little things. Thank you Regina Wamba for the perfect image. This couple has been inspiring me for more than a year.
Thank you Dani Sanchez for your sage advice and for helping my stories find their way to the right readers. And Annette Brignac and Michelle Clay… I would not be able to get these books to the people who matter most without you. Don’t ever leave me.
Last but certainly not least, thank YOU for picking up this book. I love that you trust me to entertain you.
Love always,
Piper
