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

The chair scraped the floor when Nathan rose. “Will you tell him something? For me?”


“Okay.” Nathan cleared his mind. “Tell him that I understand, and tell him what I’m doing. Tell him everything. That I’m going to meetings, that I’m seeing you; what we talk about, what I say in group. Tell him I’m washing dishes after dinners in an apron that makes the Women’s Group laugh, and that I don’t think I’ll ever believe in God, but I can and do believe in him. Tell him that won’t change, even if he never comes back. And please, tell him that he’s not the reason. But he’s the goal. To be good enough for him, that’s what I want. I think it’s what I’ve always wanted, right from the very beginning.”


“I’ll give him the message,” Matt promised.


“Thank you.” Nathan hesitated. “Tell him if and when he comes home, it’ll be just to me and not to any of the mess I’ve made. And tell him that as far as I’m concerned, he saved my life.”
