"A collection blazing with seduction, trickery, conflict, and grief, Wicked South: Secrets and Lies is a saga of bitter deceits and breathtaking victories." -Heather Ezell, author of Nothing Left to Burn

For good or ill - on the page or in life - few things are more alluring than the siren song of a secret. Secrets can bind us together or rip us apart - but one thing's for sure: they make a great story.

At the heart of each story in this genre-crossing collection lies a secret. A boy who is not a boy at all, a neighbor with a mysterious ability, a first love that isn't what it seems, a girl who leaves her scarred and broken heart at the bottom of a river.

Friendships, first loves, revenge and betrayals - the characters in these stories are tortured by the secrets they've kept and the lies they've told - can they each find redemption as they learn to separate the wicked from the wise?

Contributors are New York Times Bestselling author Emily Colin, Elizabeth DeVido, award-winning author Lauren Faulkenberry, Amy Hyatt Fonseca, Lauren Fulcher, award-winning author Robin Kirk, John Klekamp, Karissa Laurel, and Katie Rose Guest Pryal.
