The Truth Within Book 3: Pelican Bay

I am not a fighter and never have been. So, how do I make the one man who may be worth fighting for see that? Ford Cornell, a twenty-five-year-old artist, should have his whole life ahead of him. Instead, he is drowning in denial and struggling to get through each day. The boy who once believed in impossible dreams has come to accept that life is about surviving a living nightmare of his own making. But the bruises and truth are becoming harder to hide.

I refuse to fall for a guy who won’t accept the truth about himself or what he wants, not again. They say bad things happen in threes, but for Sheriff Camden Wells, it's more like fours, fives, or dozens. After an ugly lie destroys his career and a betrayal cuts him to the core, forty-year-old Cam is counting on his new job as sheriff of Pelican Bay to be a fresh start.

But meeting a young man who makes him want to break all his own rules is not what he expected. Ford has gotten used to being his older brother’s punching bag and his mother’s constant disappointment. But when you don’t have anyone in your corner, or when you go against family, Ford knows he’s not strong enough to survive that.

Nothing about us should make sense, but maybe that’s why it does. Two men, one living a lie and the other knocking down the walls of the closet he was forced to live in for so long. As their need for each other grows stronger, they must accept that being together means going against everything they believe in. So, which man will bend and which will break? And what will the truth ultimately reveal?
