Synopsis
Dominic Walker has always been a good liar. Dominic stands where I am supposed to — at my identical twin’s side. His confidant. His right- hand. His best friend. The brother he would choose. I’ve been cast aside, relegated to the shadows. Forced to watch as Max and Dominic get everything they want. Everything I secretly want. But then, Dominic suddenly sees me and issues an offer I can’t refuse. A challenge, actually. One he never expects me to follow through on. With anyone else, I wouldn’t have considered it. But I’ll be damned before I let Dominic get the better of me. It has me sinking to my knees. Literally. A decision that changes everything. Dominic pulls me out of the shadows, and I never want to go back. But it’s not the shadows I need to be afraid of. No, it’s the path that leads somewhere far darker than I could ever have imagined. Somewhere where truth and lies become shadowed. Shadows Never Lie is the first book in the Shadow Duet. It's a contemporary, enemies to lovers, brother's best friend, high-angst MM romance, featuring brand new characters. The duet will end in a HEA.
