Jake Greenwood thought losing his older brother Caleb in a traffic accident was enough to change him forever. But when the driver turns up at the funeral, Jake now has a target for all the rage inside him. Because the man responsible for stealing Caleb's light from the world has no right to intrude on their grief.
Jake's right about one thing--Caleb's death changes everything, but not in a way he expects. When he goes to Atlanta to collect Caleb's things, Jake's world is turned upside down as he makes a shocking discovery.
Caleb had a secret. The same secret Jake is hiding from everyone who knows him.
Well--almost everyone.
But now he wants answers, and there's only one person who can provide them.
Liam Miller knew deep down he'd get a hostile reception at Caleb's funeral--Caleb had told him more than once that a black man in that town was always going to stand out--but he can't stay away. He has to say goodbye. Caleb's family know nothing about his life in Atlanta, so maybe it's better that his secrets die with him.
What he hadn't counted on was Caleb's brother Jake, turning up in Atlanta--and asking for Caleb's laptop. Because Liam has a good idea what Jake will find.
Maybe it's time Jake learns he's not the only one who's hurting.
Jake's not sure how it happened, but he's gained a friend, a link to Caleb's other life. What he hadn't counted on was just how much he'd come to rely on Liam--how much Jake is attracted to him.
Liam can see where things are leading and he fights it. Because any way he looks at it, this is wrong. Except he's about to learn Jake is as stubborn as his brother, and then some. Suddenly they're way past the point of no return, and Liam knows in his gut they are heading for a shitstorm of epic proportions.
Truth & Betrayal is a slow-burn, painful, yet inspirational story of love, loss, and coming of age that will have you crying, laughing, and rooting for two men whose romance has potential pitfalls in every direction. It's a story of grief and goodbyes, loss and restoration, discovery, firsts, lasts, and above all, a love that's bewildering, unexpected, and so very strong and true.
