Falls Boys

Falls Boys by Penelope Douglas is a gritty new adult romance that throws two enemies into the one place neither can escape. When Hawken Trent—the town’s polished, church-going golden boy—steps in to stop a local delinquent from getting what she’s owed, he expects to play hero. Instead, one bad night turns into a high-stakes dash from the police and a desperate hideout in a long-forgotten speakeasy beneath a bake shop.

Trapped together in the dark, their roles start to blur. She’s not just trouble. He’s not just good. As hours stretch into days, suspicion shifts into uneasy trust—and the kind of chemistry that doesn’t ask permission.

Perfect for readers who love enemies-to-lovers, small-town romance with a criminal edge, and morally grey characters in an 18+ contemporary romance.

Step into Falls Boys and see what happens when the rules stop mattering.
