​He’s my ex’s brother…

I’ve spent a long time running and hiding.

Living life on the edge.

To those on the outside, my life is fabulous.

But it’s all a lie.

I’m a liar. A fraud. A thief.  

And now it’s all catching up to me.

Trent Garza is the one Garza I could never out-run. Always showing up just in the nick of time to save me. So of course it’s him who’s here now, witnessing me at my lowest.

This time, though, his help isn’t free.

I’m in his debt and at his mercy.

The steps were simple:

• Pay off the debt.

• Go back to living a life of lies.

But Trent...well, he had steps of his own.
