Behind Closed Doors (A Letting Him In Spin-off)

This book is a spin-off to 'Letting Him In', but can be read as a standalone as this book is set before the events of the former.

Despite being born into the business world, Christian more often than not found himself thinking about how he didn't belong here. The role and responsibility as heir to the family business, the putting on a facade for every meeting, the pretending, pretending, pretending all the time... maybe it just wasn't for him.

So when he's offered his first joint, he takes it thinking it'll be a one time thing to relieve some stress. Until it isn't. Before he knows it, Christian is spiraling.

And all the while, there's his perfect twin, Dean. He's the one who you would call the golden child of the family. He had the charm, was effortlessly perfect at everything, and it was like everyone he met couldn't help but love him. It was a shame that Chris was born before Dean, (or, sometimes he felt that it was a shame he was born at all), and that their family was strict on the tradition of passing the business to the eldest child. He wished he could hate his brother, but he knew he never could.

And now he might lose everything he's ever had, all because of a stupid mistake.
