Never Leave, Never Lie
The lies that brought them together will tear them apart.
Alek and Ian's relationship is built on lies and the cracks are starting to show.
A pianist gifted with synesthesia, Alek sees sounds and hears colors and transforms all of his emotions into music. But no matter how hard he tries to hide behind a facade of apathy and seduction, he can't escape the dark past that haunts him.
Contractor Ian sees the beauty in something destroyed by neglect and his obsession with fixing extends beyond historical buildings. But when Alek's self-destructive tendencies turn their relationship to ruins, Ian fears Alek is the first project he'll have no choice but to abandon.
Now the Gothic Victorian mansion they're renovating is the only thing connecting them. Alek will do anything to keep Ian with him.
Except tell the truth.
Because Alek is lying about everything, starting with his name, and when Ian learns the truth, their house of cards will collapse.
Never Leave, Never Lie is an angsty MM modern gothic romance that features mental health representation and a hard-fought happily ever after.
