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

“Okay, so she didn’t know you two had been back together?”


Fury laughed. “I don’t know if she knew we’d ever been together in the first place. She sure didn’t know I was fightin’ for him.”


“Yeah, that’s about what she said.” Fury rubbed at his jaw like it still hurt from Hellabeth’s lecture.


“Sometimes you can’t get away from people, huh?” Nathan asked.


Fury hummed. “Had these talks with Matt about fate and your actions comin’ back on you. He says it’s God givin’ second chances or pullin’ people together to do somethin’ they couldn’t do alone, but sometimes it feels like the man upstairs is messin’ with you.”


“We didn’t know what the right thing was, you know?” Fury said. “Once Izzy and I got calmed down, we figured out quick that nobody on Tray’s side knew about her and me, and Dennis wasn’t really talkin’ to either of us. Guilt, I think. He wanted more money, a bigger game, but he didn’t count on gettin’ both me and her in the mess with him.”
