The Truth of Our Past
(2024)(The second book in the Unframed Art MM Romance series)
A novel by Heather Leighson
He’s a contradiction I can’t walk away from
Alec:
Von––the uptight, gorgeous, Swede––wants nothing to do with me, and I’m obsessed.
The sullen man isn’t interested, and I don’t chase.
When I’m confronted with heart-crushing truths from my past, he’s a steady rock caring for me. But I refuse to reveal what no one else knows. In my experience, relationships end in shattered trust. So I avoid them.
With Von, all my defenses crumble. I burn for his fierce protectiveness. For the first time in my life, my heart wants more. More than a quickie––I break all my rules.
But love is out of the question. Love leads to certain heartbreak.
Von:
Dimples attached to an obnoxious man threaten to derail everything.
I’m desperate to escape my grief and suffocating media scrutiny.
I long for anonymity and solitude, but ache for Alec’s kindness and effortless joy. The man who embodies sunshine reminds me of my loss. So I keep my distance, afraid my emptiness will contaminate his sunshine. Until I realize his charm hides a darkness lurking underneath.
The unwaveringly loyal man proposes a pretend relationship with spicy, passionate bedroom activities. And it’s hard to remember this will only ever be temporary. I’m leaving.
My damaged heart won’t survive losing him.
The Truth of Our Past is the second book in the Unframed Art MM Romance series, including spicy angst with a bit of kink. Tropes: off-limits, hurt/comfort, and first love. See my website or inside the sample for trigger warnings.
Genre: Gay Romance
