For the past 26 years I've lived a lie. I had to, to survive. But now? Now this half-life, the deceit, the lies are just hurting everyone I love and the only person who has ever loved me. I'm not sure how I got into this mess but I have to get out. For my sake, and for hers. Maybe I did want to get caught, maybe, but I never meant to hurt her.
And then there was HIM. The man who managed to hold me together until my pieces rearranged and gravity kicked it. He's made me happier than I ever thought I could be. Happier than I deserve to be.
<i>This is what happened, and why, and how. But most importantly, this is WHO happened. This is how I discovered my truth and that sometimes love is easy, even when life is hard.</i>
Triggers: Miscarriage, infidelity, depression. Mention of past conversion therapy. Gender questioning/issues. This book is very angsty although almost all is outside the relationship.
This is stand-alone (mostly) so it doesn't matter how many of the Dominant Doctor books you've read. It'll make more sense and be more fun if you at least know who these guys are and how they're connected but if the Dominant Doctor books aren't your thing, no worries.
As Claire aims to leave her oppressive stepfamily behind, she befriends Zion. Will he be her ticket to freedom or a distraction in achieving her dreams?
*****

However, when a series of events led Claire closer to Zion, her feelings for him grew from infatuation to love. And despite fighting hard to keep her feelings contained by distancing herself from Zion, he was determined to show her that he's earned a spot in her life.
