Book Description

A Dark, Addictive New Adult Romance


Published on October 18, 2022, Falls Boys by bestselling author Penelope Douglas is the first book in The Hellbent Series, a thrilling spin-off of her wildly popular Fall Away Series. Known for her raw, emotional, and daring romances, Douglas delivers another unforgettable story filled with passion, danger, and unexpected love.


In Falls Boys, readers are introduced to the next generation of Shelburne Falls. The kids may be different from their parents, but in many ways, history repeats itself. At the center of the novel are two strikingly opposite characters—Hawken Trent, the golden boy, and Aro, the rebellious delinquent who lives by her own rules.


Hawken Trent is polite, disciplined, and carries himself as the perfect young man—clean, respectful, and sheltered. His world has been safe and structured, a life without ever worrying about food on the table or where he belongs. On the other hand, Aro is rough around the edges, bold, reckless, and far from innocent. She is no stranger to survival and doesn’t apologize for the choices she makes. When Hawken tries to protect a girl from Aro’s schemes, their worlds collide in a way neither of them could have expected.


But everything changes the night they find themselves at the wrong place at the wrong time. With the police closing in, Hawken and Aro run into an old, forgotten speakeasy—Carnival Tower—hidden beneath the streets of Shelburne Falls. Forced into hiding, trapped together, and surrounded by legends that whisper about mirrors being gateways, the two enemies soon discover sides of each other they never thought existed.


What begins as distrust and hostility turns into something far more dangerous: desire. In the shadows of Carnival Tower, boundaries blur, secrets unfold, and love finds a way where it shouldn’t exist.


Falls Boys is a standalone New Adult romance novel for readers 18+, blending tension, mystery, and intoxicating passion. Fans of the Fall Away Series will love this next chapter, but newcomers can dive in without missing a beat.

Author portrait of Penelope Douglas

Penelope Douglas

Meet Penelope Douglas, a captivating author with a penchant for crafting romance tales that span the realms of new adult, erotica, and contemporary fiction.

My dedication to weaving compelling narratives stems from the belief that a skilled writer can breathe life into any story, forging a connection with readers. I strive to achieve this with each book I pen, unafraid to explore topics others may deem taboo. Breaking rules and stepping out of my comfort zone invigorates my creative spirit.

Life is defined by experiences, not mere facts. As an adolescent, I grappled with shyness and fear, avoiding mistakes at the cost of truly living. The fear of judgment held me back until I decided to break free from the invisible chains. Leaving the familiar behind, I ventured into the unknown, pursuing education, travel, and personal challenges that molded me into the person I am today.

From solo train rides in Japan to conquering Hiji Falls and scaling Mt. Fuji, I embraced opportunities to live authentically. Moving to New Orleans for graduate school without knowing a soul in the city was a leap of faith that transformed my perspective on life. I learned the importance of being true to oneself, disregarding the opinions of others, and embracing one's identity with pride.

My journey has instilled in me a passion for storytelling, where I draw inspiration not only from life experiences but also from music. Playlists accompany my stories, and the influence of music surpasses that of any other art form or author. Crafting a meaningful narrative takes time, and I believe in providing readers with a well-crafted story over a hastily written one.

As for me, I harbor a love for taboo subjects, both in reading and writing. Music remains a constant muse, and road trips hold a special place in my heart. The rain, with its soothing cadence, is a cherished companion. Holding a BA in Public Administration from the University of Northern Iowa and a Master's in Education from Loyola University New Orleans, I spent eight years as a teacher.

Away from the writing desk, I indulge in road trips, revel in the joy of rain, and appreciate the cinematic brilliance of The Karate Kid and Dead Poets' Society.

With numerous bestselling titles on the New York Times, USA Today, and Wall Street Journal lists, books's Penelope Douglas have transcended language barriers, being translated into nineteen languages.

You weren’t born here. You were born billions of years ago, Aro. You’re stardust. I look over, meeting her eyes. The stars don’t need to see you. They know you.

My wild girl. The one who sets fires everywhere she goes. I was dead before her.

She’s not a bomb. She’s patient, quiet, unyielding, and permanent. She withstands. Like steel. Like an ax.
