She’s the boss of the Vancity Tide lacrosse team. He’s the team captain—and the firefighter who’s never failed anyone. There are a hundred reasons why their steamy encounter has to stay a secret. But number one? Her dad owns the team…
Seren is on the brink of career disaster. The general manager job she’s worked her entire life for is about to slip away. The season is unraveling and she’s been given an ultimatum—make it to the playoffs or lose her dream job forever. But keeping her head in the game would be so much easier if she wasn’t falling for her star player. And he hadn’t told her he was falling too…
Brad Holt is the team captain. Nicknamed ‘Fixer’, he holds everything together, whether it’s on the lacrosse floor, at the fire hall or at home with his family. Being steady was his whole identity—until the night things crossed the line with Seren. Now he’s in a tailspin, failing in every arena that matters. All because she’s the one problem he can’t fix. And the one person who might actually break him for good.
As the final games of the season loom over Seren and Brad, and a clip of a heated kiss goes viral, their carefully crafted defence crumbles around them. With seconds left on the clock, a win could change everything. But if they lose, they lose it all…
Six best friends on a bachelorette road trip. One RV packed with secrets.
Blanca’s September wedding is the perfect excuse for one last adventure, so Coco, Loren, and Aroa rent a camper and plot a week of sun splashed beaches, campsite dinners, and dancing till closing time. Marín and Gus jump onboard at the last minute. It should be idyllic—if only the truth weren’t riding shotgun.
Coco and Marín are the kind of roommates who make life look easy. Too bad Coco is in love with him. To keep it hidden, she pretends she’s still hung up on her ex, Gus… who seems to be writing love poems to someone he won’t name. Marín and Aroa’s breakup? Messier than anyone admits. Blanca should be glowing for her fiancé, yet she’s miles away. And Loren—poor Loren—knows more than he should and can’t tell a soul.
What starts as a carefree farewell becomes a pressure cooker of almost confessions and half truths. As the miles roll by, the stories they’ve told about themselves start to crack, and each of them has to choose what to protect: the friend group they’ve always been—or the person they might finally be brave enough to become.
With Benavent’s trademark mix of sparkle, tenderness, and razor sharp honesty, All the Truth in My Lies is a friends to lovers slow burn, a found family drama, and a summer road trip you’ll feel in your bones—about how telling the truth can break a heart…and how it just might be the only way to mend one.
