To Nathan Hunt, honesty is anything but the best policy. Telling the truth has earned him nothing but heartache and pain, so lying about who he is and what he wants seems to be the only path to job security and friends. Hell, it even brings him a hollow kind of happiness.<br><br>Except that's not much of a life for anyone. Desperate to cure his self-made misery, Nathan agrees to go along with a con that will score enough cash for Nathan to start over. There's just one problem: lying is getting harder by the day. And a con who can't lie, is a con who gets caught.<br><br>Nathan's attempts to distract himself from his moral quandary lead him to a mysterious, intoxicating man named Fury, a mixed martial arts fighter who knows a thing or two about lies and pasts better left dead and buried. Together, they undertake a journey that proves honesty is more dangerous and more difficult than either of them could have imagined. And as they combat addiction, thugs, guns, and inner demons, Nathan and Fury can only hope that their battle to be together is worth the bitter fight.

Fight

Nathan assumed the position. “No, I haven’t. We always stay here.”


There was a Fury-silence. “It’s bigger than the truck,” he said.


“Well, yeah.” Nathan rested against Fury’s side, draped Fury’s arm over his chest, paused on the way to the remote control, and twisted to look at Fury. “Wait. You live in your truck?”


Like dark magic, Fury’s features went flat. “Yeah,” he said.


Nathan couldn’t quite process the idea of Fury spending nights in the bed of a pickup. Especially not all the cold nights that came before Nathan and Fury were together. “Why didn’t you tell me?”


Nathan turned and spied the duffel bag. “So that’s…”


“All I got, yeah. Well, that I’d mind people stealin’.”


Fury frowned at the floor. “Got a few things in a storage building I share with my sister.”


“Why not stay with her?” Nathan asked, hoping his luck held and Fury kept answering questions.


“She tends to stay wherever she’s wanted most,” Fury said stiffly.
